    I sewed one in the past with leftover Fireline,and used a patch over that.No issues after that.It was a 2-man Fishtrap.

    I had ripped the skirt on my frabil and had a lady friend sewed mine up this December. Whatever she used is holding up better the the factory seems so far.

    I used powerpro on an old Frabill I had, my nephew now has the shack and the sewing job is still holding up.

    Cool. Thanks for the advice/tips, guys! Looks like I’m on the right track with using some braid. Now just gotta convince my wife to try sewing it.

    It’s not that hard to operate a sewing needle.

    Every man should learn to sew just for times like these! I couldn’t make anything, but I know enough to repair stuff when needed. Just back and forth like you are stitching up your leg…

    Yep power point is it! I have used it on a few ice fishing items and it works great.
