I am using braided Dacron Trolling line that I bought at a Basspro shop http://www.basspro-shops.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=20099&hvarTarget=search
It seems to be the same material as a towline that my friend bought in Germany. I bought two sizes: 100kg(220lbs) and 60kg(130lbs). Not sure which one is better - both are strong enough however the heavier one is a bit easier to see and is not too heavy. The gliders I am towing are 3 to 7kg.
