Thread or wrap for rigging eels

[Saltheart]

I have used Ande 60 LB inside and 12 LB outside for years.

I think the Dacron is a good idea for easier knots but don't get cut while rigging eeels. The germ possibilities are not appetizing .

Anyway , behind the head and seldom but sometimes at the tail hook , I use multiple wraps (like lashing) of the 12 lb test mono. I have frozen , thawed and refrozen rigged eels many times and the freezing doesn't effect the mono. What does freezing and thawing repeatedly do to dacron?

Just shows to go that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

130# mono inside, crimped. Heavy waxed thread outside.

I use black dacron. You probably could use any color thread you wanted for the outside and just run it over a black sharpie like some do when they sharpen hooks.

U want to use a waxed rigging line..
I have a spool of bow string..Any good archery supply will have it.
Waxed so the knots don't slip. flat an broad so it don't pull thru.i use old 80 lb braid for the insides..
