If you experiment fishing lines for stringing, I'd be very interested in the result, gauge used, etc... This setting is great to me except the E string which is really thin (you might not tell if there's a string or not there at 1 meter...). It seems to handle the tension since two weeks, but I wonder if it will not break one day, though I saw tahitian ukuleles with strings as thin as this.
Cool!

Instant mandolin! Love it.
(I wonder what you'd get if you used tapered flyfishing leaders.)

Glad you like it,
It's really worth the try. I live in a small town and don't have a wide choice of fishing line, but I'm glad with this setting for now.
