I have a couple of good Shakespeares, but I really like ther Garica Michell 710 autos as you can change spools.

As for the line, it's more than likely older "nylon" line by the coloring. The only way to know for sure is to burn a piece- if it burns and ashes - then it's silk. If it melts -nylon

Careful Steve. If it's nylon it will really mess up your bong!

If it's something you don't use, you might consider giving it to Project Healing Waters. I'm not affilieated with them, but they work with wounded military. Might be something a warrior that lost an arm or hand could use.


FISH ON!!! ummmmm off
