Pull Tab Cord Replacement

The braided cord on the NSA pull tab dangling from my belt pack has a monofilament core:

Worn tab cord

The Basement Laboratory Warehouse Wing doesn’t have an exact replacement, but braided nylon fishing line should come close:

Pull tab - braided nylon line
Pull tab – braided nylon line

If I keep a closer watch on the situation, maybe I can replace the cord before the tab goes missing…

    A fisherman caught a pike, which had eaten the fisherman’s spring hook (don’t know English term), but the picture will tell. The hook was inside pike’s belly for two years.

      That is one mean-looking fish… and “hook”, too, for that matter.

        Once found a juvenile Common Goldeneye in pike’s belly.
