I think??

Went to Michaels, Home Depot and Lowes with no luck.

But I think I may have found some.

Check out the 120 Rotten Cotten pic I pulled off the Internet then look at the stuff I got today.

The spool was unmarked but it sure looks likes and the size matches up pretty good in the pics.

What do you think????

75 cents a yard compared to 4.95 cents the site is asking for.

Thanks Fishingaddict!

Try not to shop at Walmart, but maybe I'll make an exception to get my traps up to code.

Free shipping if you pick up at your local store.  :smt002

Because people like to over-complicate shit and make it harder than it really needs to be...just my opinion. I am using my son's shoe strings. They never last a week, so the crabs will be safe in a matter of days.

That's what I do.  I use whatever kitchen cotton twine I have laying around.  It's tiny compared to size 120, but it works for me.  Check regularly and replace if needed.

I mean we're not some commercial fisherman soaking pots full time and beating the hell out of them.
