Thanks Steve,

Did you bury the butt joint in one of the Dutchman clamps?

Hi Chris,
I replaced mine this year.  I bought 80' of line.  I had about 6' left over when I was finished.

I was not at the boat this weekend, but I believe it was 1/4" line.

No, no...I'm not asking for the size of the monofilament line. I have new line and sources.

I want to replace the double braid loop that attaches to the topping lift an to which the the monofilament lines are clamped and is used to adjust the mono. It is either 1/4" or 5/16" and I'm not sure how long as well.
