A lot of people use it for trap lines, but it is well-understood that you need to inspect and replace at any sign of wear or fraying. I made the mod to the Cap using 1/8-inch Amsteel after cutting the Ronstan blocks off the thimbles on the trap wires - the blocks were eating the 1/8-inch Excel Racing line at an alarming rate. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Trey Brown recommends spliced loops at both ends of the trap lines for a strong and polished finish. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
