1/4 lb fishing line

Hi everyone,

I am working on a special effect for a theater show and had a magician
suggest 1/4 lb pink fishing line to accomplish it. He said they used a
French brand in the 70's for a magic trick.

Is there such a thing as 1/4 lb fishing line? It seems a little light
to use for fishing.

Thanks,
Richard

Shop in a fabric store for "invisible thread". It is monofilament. Years
ago, we used "Diamond crystal" brand for a break strength of about 1 1/4 #.
Knot strength is just above a pound.
