Hi Eric, could you explain a little bit what do you mean by making your own lines? Do you just cut different commercial lines et make a new one with these pieces of lines or do you create the line entirely? I'm asking this question because, I have made my own lines with pieces of commercial ones and they are just wonderful, just the taper that i want. I've also been trying to make a line with a backing, cotton thread and oil. The result is not that bad but not excellent. Anyone has ever tried to make a line??
