Cortland Linen Wrap

[Bavafongoul]

It does not resemble any of the different lb. strength Cortland braided fishing lines I’ve seen before.
The twisted strands look different, I.e., larger, than the brown CL linen in my previously posted pics.
Perhaps someone else can state with certainty but seeing the wrap in person does make a difference.

In the "olden" days when we spooled a reel with monofilement, we would lay down a "cushion" of braided line first -- usually Cortland. I have some old reels spooked like this that might have enough braided line to wrap a cue. Any old fishermen out there?
