I agree with Mark re oiling the line. However, oil may destroy the
line. To be safe I throw line away immediately after use if I have
oiled it. And if you wind your oiled line on a big orange traffic cone
rather than a spinning reel you can get some impressive distance with a
sling shot. Prop the nose of the cone in the direction of the shot and
let her fly. Less friction than the spinning reel, but a pita as far
as I am concerned. I have yet to need to oil Spider Wire, it is so
small that it flows nicely. Someone else mentioned eye protection. I
consider this MANDATORY. Safety first. 73 bob de w9ge
