There used to be a shop in Fall River, MA that sold factory seconds on braided nylon line. A lot of the guys running lobster traps bought from them as well as a lot of the quahoggers. I used to use 3/8" for my 18' skiff and carried 300' for raking purposes and never had a problem with it and I'd haul back on the line at times and it didn't cut into my hands if I did it right.
