Biplane Rigging........Help........

I think you both mean the same and it is the same like I used.

Cheers Rob

Yes, that's it. I had the same confusion when I first bought line myself. I used .12 of an inch when it should have been .12 mm. I corrected my post.  That 2 lb line looks, to me at least, 100% scale.

Ernie it wasn’t the picture but the listing beside it, the 2lb line @ 0.005” = 0.127mm

Sorry didn’t explain it well, Amazon UK have 600m reels of it, so I am hunting for small reels........

Well, think of it this way : with 600 meters, you can do A LOT of WnW kits

That’s probably their whole product line, twice

I just ordered some Maxima 1lb and 3 lb on ebay. I will check some of my local tackle shops for 2LB Maxima 0.12  .      Hope they have some as there is not much Fly Fishing close to me.   Thanks for all the info guys

Just picked this up at my local Tackle Shop

I'm going to have to look around as all I can find near me is 4 lb and up. I suspect that will too thick to use. Amazon shipping to Canada is a bit nuts at the moment.

"Shipping to Canada is a 'bit' nuts"................................ it's a LOT nuts, we only want to RENT a small space on the truck, NOT BUY the whole truck ! And some days that's the way it feels

So true. At least if we have to pay for the truck, we should get to keep it.
