Default Really Non-stretch Fishing line - Authoraitative advice please

Any of the "new" braided lines will do ,look for spider wire or fusion
on the box,one problem though is that it is so limp it knots very easily
so I suggest getting some thing around the 50lb breaking strain &
preferably coated in nylon for winding into the stanley tool.

Thanks Derek for the suggestion but for our purposes I really think the idea
of jointing lengths would be frowned upon.
From another source PowerPro braid has been suggested as being "near Zero
Stretch" and can be purchased in 100 metre lengths. Do you have any comments
on use of that?

Also it may help to know that we use a builder's chalk line (Stanley
Fatmax) to carry the line and it has a 3 to 1 gear for rapid rewind. I would
like to post a jpg picture of the "reel" with the fixed and sliding
measuring points so that you can see how it functions.

Is it in order to post a jpg file (443KB) to the group?
