Best material for shroud lines

For me, the braided fishing line works the best.CookiePie1 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 2:56 pmI've seen lots of success with both sewing thread and fishing line.astronomybuff wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 2:51 pm Hey, I was wondering what would be the best thing to use for the shroud lines for the parachute.
