Dacron Fishing Line

Picked up an as new (still in the box), 100 yard spool of 100 LB rated braided Dacron line at a yard sale over the weekend for $2.50. Does this line have any good use or purpose in today's fishing world where modern braided line dominates over Dacron?
 
It's handy on the work bench for wrapping gaff handles & the like.

IME it does rot though so needs a preservative of some kind on top.

Use as backing on any of your fishing reels - good cushioning for mono and won't slip under braid.

Agreed. I use 80lb dacron I purchased off ebay for about $10 for 1000yards. It works great as a backing on my mooching reels.
