You can use anything you like- dacron is nice, but i dont like it's knot holding ability... you really have to use alot of super glue or ZAp on the knots.
Mono is fine, but i am not sure if the super glue weakens the line as it cures-
I like to use 60 lb Cortland master braid when i rig mine.

We use dacron... but as long as what you choose is not too thick or wiry it should work fine.

Rigging rubba eels

The reason I asked, was ,I tied a couple with 50lb mono. I used the snell knot on both 6/0 circle hooks and look pretty good. Tied one hook to a vise and pulled the other with visegrips and the knots held.

You could also use 50-65 lb braid if you have that on hand.
