Types of fishing line

Fishing line refers to the thread, line or string used to connect hooks and various small accessories in fishing activities. Fishing line plays a very key role in the fishing process. In the past, fishing lines were mostly made of natural fiber materials such as cotton, linen, and silk. And the transparency, strength, and softness of thr line were far from enough. With the invention and continuous advancement of chemical fibers, the new generation of fishing line has made great strides in terms of softness, transparency and strength. In this article, we will summarize the different types of fishing line.

Nylon line

The invention of nylon is a major innovation in modern history. It is especially the use of nylon oil to make string as a fishing line, which is not only an epoch-making event in fishing, but also writes a new page for the development of fishing sports. Nylon thread is generally a single-strand line, which has a certain ductility, is not easy to break the thread, has low cost, smooth surface, and can minimize the wear and tear of the line loop.

PE line

Polyethylene (abbreviation: PE) is one of the most commonly plastics in daily life. People widely use it in the manufacture of plastic bags, films, barrels and other products. The PE line used in the fishing line is a PE fiber made of polyethylene compound, which is made of multi-strand chemical fiber braided and impregnated with glue.

Carbon line

Carbon threads are made from spin-off resins containing fluorine and carbon components. Because of the addition of carbon material, it is relatively hard, its density is greater than that of water, it has low ductility, memory, fast water cutting, good wear resistance, hard surface, and can resist friction such as rocks and sharp teeth. Durable, long-lasting, with high compression resistance and UV resistance. It is suitable for rock fishing as a subline. In addition, his production process is difficult, the price is high, and the carbon line sold in the market is uneven, so pay attention to screening when buying.

Steel line

It is not easy to stretch the steel line. And steel line is extremely wear-resistant. And people generally use it resist reef friction or fish tooth friction during sea fishing.

Braided line

Braided lines are wiring, fire lines, strong horse lines, and PE lines, which are made of multiple strands of braiding, and the tensile value is better. It has good abrasion resistance and is popular with boat anglers and cast anglers. During the manufacturing process, a lamination is added to each strand to prevent water absorption. Good water cut. But its damaged part is prone to forming hairballs, which are easy to break, and have a hard texture.

Ceramic line

Ceramic line is one of the high-strength fishing lines. And it is a new fishing line developed by Japan (Sanraiin) Co., Ltd. in recent years. It mainly uses polymer polymeric materials. Adding special resin to the line body to enhance the wear resistance of the fishing line. It improves the water resistance of the line. So the line will have good tensile strength and wear resistance, and the nodule damage rate is very low. The ceramic line has the ability to prevent the erosion of the line by the water body after the fishing line enters the water. And the ceramic line can improve the sensitivity of feedback during the fish flood, so it is called “ceramic line”.

Fluorocarbon coating line

A new type of nylon thread. To ensure the maximum value of tensile force and nodule strength, the water absorption rate is basically zero. The fluorocarbon coating insulates the immersion of the nylon thread by water, further ensuring the tensile strength and strength of the thread in water. The improvement of the surface finish accelerates the water cutting speed of the line, and the specific gravity does not change, but the water cutting speed is much faster. Its smoothness and softness also bring a pleasant feeling to fishing. When purchasing, the identification method of fire can be used, and the burnt carbon fluoro-nylon line has both carbide and molten matter, while the burned nylon line only has melted matter.

Synthetic line

Synthetic thread is the process of making nylon thread. Adding other materials to the finished product so that the thread can float on water or be suspended in water. It is suitable for use as a semi-floating line for rock fishing, a full floating line containing oily substances, and a casting line with resin processing and adding tensile materials.

Super strong PE fiber fishing line

Using super strong PE fiber as raw material. Adding lubrication factors to the surface of the line body, which improves the coating on the surface of the fishing line. So the fishing line is durable, the color is long-lasting, and the wear and fading are not easy to prevent. Fewer tangles and more convenient knotting. It has the characteristics of anti-wear. It will not cut the line, long-lasting performance, and thin line diameter, and is suitable for use as fishing line, kite line, water skiing tow rope, etc.
