i am also in need of the same advice. ive done some searching and am also confused. does the "FLOAT LINE" realy have to actualy float or is it a nick name that indicates its purpose. for instance i saw a thread about making a boggie board into a float device that ataches to either your spear line or a gun line. i would imagine that regardless of what type of simple nylon line you use, that this primitive set up would be more than functional( perhaps even if compared to some in the very expensive ones.).......
so basicaly thats my interest. also i notice that some manufacturers are selling nylon and gelspun polyethelyene(3m ,tuf line,super line) that is coated in either vinyl or polyurathane to increase the abrasion resistance, and the flotation quality. in the netting industry(which i am familar with) they comonly coat nylon or other synthetic lines in a simple latex ruber dip that is basicaly a cheep paint. for protection. i am wondering if anyone has mastered a cheep do-it yourself recipie for making nylon rope float. if not i might just be forced to pionerr this and do some web publishing of my research. ...
