    Jaxhiker, I use a coat hanger or a piece of bailing wire for my fid. Also the spiral binding at the top of a steno pad works fairly well. A bit light weight bit not bad either.

    Thank you everyone for being so helpful and informative!!! HF is amazing!

    JPsax thank you for the extra homework. I have been studying up on this, but I am sure I will still run into some glitches. DIY is worth it. I am SUPER excited!

    Supply varies by location then. I got my first amsteel lines at a west marine right here by my house. They have 7/64ths but only in red and grey
