I am a lawn bowls umpire and we are told to use fishing line for certain
measuring between bowls to find which is closest to the target. Sometimes over a distance of as much as 10 or 15 metres the difference between 2 bowls is very close, say only 10 millimetres or less, so for accurate measurement it is essential to have a line which does not stretch. I went to a local shop (Watford, UK) and was sold "Dacron braided leader" which was said to be non-stretch but in practice I have found this is far from the case. So I am seeking really authoritative advice on what line to buy as a replacement. I need a minimum of about 45 metres in length (because on occasion we also use a line pulled tight from one end of the bowls rink to the other end), and I believe price is not really an issue - I don't want to spend more than is necessary but would not jib at £25 if that is what it takes to get something which really offers the minimum stretch. I need the full identifying name so as not to get the wrong product. If you cannot yourself advise, do you know a chap who can !!! Thanks so much -- Regards, Jack Sadie |
