Matt,

IMO I would go with the cut bait. It should work fine. The nylon rope is also ok if it is really 80lb test. I use paracord on mine. It only needs to be able to pull in the weight of the trap and withstand any current.

If you really want some used panty hose, PM Bob O. I'm sure he has several used pairs lying around. grin
