Either the 14 or 18ga wire mentioned will work well. We also use the CDL Rapi-strap for tying back mainline. Other mainline ties that have been used in our woods are: old rope (various sizes, colour), bailer twine, ratchet straps, fence wire, bull tape and even electrical tape. I'm pretty sure that a section of grape vine would work as a temporary fix in a pinch! Sometimes you have to use whatever is kicking around in the truck.

Yeah ennis I've used a few scrap pieces of 3/16 tubing too, if you can tie it or wedge it and it's available use it
