On the blag - length of black fishing line Please

Guido · 27-Dec-2006, 12:36

Hi folks...

Strange request I know but am after about 6 inches of (reasonably fine gauge) black fishing line if anyone has any pleaseee.

Looked on Ebay and you get charged about £10 plus postage for metres and metres of the stuff and I only need 6 inches absolute max.

If anyone could spare a length from their stock I'd greatly appreciate it (assuming some of you have the inclination and time to fish in between work and Ducati's!!!!)

(it's to keep me from losing the plastic LCD protector on my Nikon camera - lost 2 already during my BSB exploits!!!!).

Many thanx and festive greetings.

Live in the stix and neither nearby sadly and like I say, I don't need 30m of the stuff which is how'd I'd have to buy it.

Means a 15 mile each way trek into York with all the associated hassle if anyone could stick a length in an envelope for some recompense (ie. costs and favour covered)...

I might have some-I'll have a quick look for you this pm and will let you know. A long time ago I used to fish.

Guy I have loads of line-it's not black though-but can send you a few feet of 30lb breaking strain line if you like-let me know.

I fish Guy...and think you may struggle to find any black line.

The idea of line is that it can't be seen by fish....so black is a bit pointless! You can get black stuff...but it would be thick and not what your after I guess.

Thanks for your help chaps.

Have taken Monty up on his offer after his call to me in the middle of 'Happy Feet' today with the Nice & Nephew..

Asked for black as my camera is black and you know how picky us artistes can be!!!!!!!

Have a great New Year everyone and thanks again.
