Anyone used a spearfishing floatline as a flag tow line?
Example:
One in question is the second from the left, a blue one. Not that brand exactly but very similar.
I am shallow shore diving and the depth is consistent, where I don't have to change the length of the line much.
Would a proper floatline that is used for spearfishing be of an advantage to tow a flag?
I am thinking that:
1) it is thicker, should be easier to manage where it won't be caught on the fins that much.
2) it won't tangle underwater if too much slack is given (or just because)
3) should mostly rise up (vs regular line) towards the surface and will keep away from my fins
But, I am not sure how floaty it is and if it will mess with my buoyancy.
Any advice if it is something that would work?
