View Full Version : So what have you used fishing line for ?
cow tamer 02-27-2006, 07:20 PM Besides fishing, what creative uses have you come up with for fishing line.
Here's (3) of mine:
1) mending window screens
2) stitching a tear in a tent
3) squirrel proofing a bird feeder (hanging the bird feeder from the line, the squirrels just can't get a foothold)

labrax 02-27-2006, 10:29 PM I have a Jetta that has a distributor cap on it that is a pain to get latched back on. Whenever I check or replace it I use 40lb test to pull up on the spring clamp that I cannot get to with a screwdriver or other tool - works pretty good.
Have been using it for picture frames too...
cow tamer 02-28-2006, 06:44 AM I hang christmas wreaths with it too.
Recently the handle fell off the lint screen on the clothes dryer. I replaced the handle with a monofilament leader.
baldwin 02-28-2006, 11:57 AM Holding up my 3 year-old's pants when I forgot to put a belt on him. My wife wasn't nearly as upset as she was when I used duct tape for the same purpose.
fishsmith 02-28-2006, 12:13 PM I use wire line to MacGyver tons of stuff, most recently to clamp down the plate that covers my catalitic converter.
Power pro and a 'J' hook was used to hang the wreath on the door this year.
Jimbo 02-28-2006, 12:15 PM Used it to stablize a wreath that was blowing around.
Shoelaces.
Found uses for tying up shrubs and plants with it.
Didn't work so well, but once I used it in an old wooden tennis racket that had some broken strings.
Most important use-I have a couple of those red frames wound with cod line I got at Riverview about 40 years ago when they were in W.Dennis. I use them to sniff, because of that intoxicating smell they have.
lurch 02-28-2006, 06:36 PM I used line to cut through PVC pipe.
Used it to cut bait as well.
Swimmer 02-28-2006, 07:09 PM Several years ago my sister-in-law was working for the state of Texas in a border town after having received her nurse midwife practitioner degree from Baylor. Most of the time the clinic just did minor surgeries that involved OB GYN stuff that my sister-in-law handled. One day during her shift a young Mexican woman came in. She was in an extreme pain Dee said. Very high temp. and a tremendous amount of discomfort in her abdomen and pevic area. Extremely distended andomen. Up on the table with feet in stirups my sister-in-law begins her exam. Inside this poor girls vagina was what looked like mono sticking out front the wall of her uterous. My siser-in-law touch it and the cry of pain indicated that this is where the infection and everything else wrong with this girl originated from. She had a cesarean in Mexico as it turned out and the only thing whoever it was that did the operation had to stitch the girl up with was about 20 # mono. I didn't rear anybody else post but I bet this one takes the cake. The girl was ship off to Houston to be operated on.
