I just found this last night. Im using picture hanging wire. It looks just like cable, its thin and spools up nice. Ill post pics later. It also looks wicked awesome with a d ring on the end of it...

I found some steel fishing leader cable that is really flexable and looks like real cable. I found it at the local major sporting goods store that has even ocean fishing gear"thumbsup"

PS:one other product is normal hobby shop stuf U-control cable

I was looking at the same leaders a couple weeks ago, and agree they would be sweet. Unfortunately, they didn't have the length I wanted in stock. So, I went with the yellow mason string as well.

I used a pull cord string from a nitro pull start. Seems to be very strong and is about 26 in long.

Has anyone tried (walleye?) fishing string, its black, thin, pretty strong, it wont get cut on sharp rocks (made so the razor sharp walleye (sp?) teeth wont cut the line)

i tried finding some tigerwire today, no luck. im going to try walmart for some good fishing line...

ace hardware has real steel cable, its 1/16 or less and you can get it cut as long as you want it. i don't know how well it would spool, i just seen it in there and was like "hey, that'd be awesome for a winch."

1/16th is too big already looked at it...

I've always used, and have seen people use small nylon string.

That's what I'll use on my scaler, or the mason string.
