Cane pole line help?
I was wondering if anybody knew a source for good old fashioned cane pole fishing line? The stuff we used when I was a kid was either cotton, or linen, or dacron, or who knows. I just remember it was black, unbraided, and typically had a faded whitish core to it if it frayed. My great grandfather always said you had to burn the end of it or the knot wouldn't hold. I don't know if it is true, but the knots always held (and we had always burned the end of it). Anyway just wanting to rig up some river cane soon, and I can't find a line that fits the bill.
Thanks Richard
