2. Multifilament fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifilament_fishing_line

   Multifilament line is similar to braided dacron in terms of sensitivity but a diameter about one-third that of the ubiquitous nylon monofilament line. [2] Multifilament works best on conventional and baitcasting reels. On spinning and spincasting reels, the line's limpness can make sure for awkward manipulation, as it does not "spring" off the ...

   For these strands another term is used i.e. "carrier" as instance 8 strand braided fishing line is called an 8-carrier line. The braided line is visible underwater as compared to other lines. Due to this line's thin diameter, it can cause scratches and cuts on the angler's hands. [2] Braided fishing lines have a low resistance to abrasion, and ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speargun

   The line is usually a heavy monofilament (140–180 kilograms (300–400 lb) test), spectra, or other spectra-like material (braided line) with 180–270+ kg (400–600+ lb) rating. The line wraps around the bottom or side of the gun upon loading and releases via a mechanical release or tension release to allow the line to travel with the spear ...

6. Fishing techniques - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_techniques

   Angling with fishing rods give more control of the fishing line, and allows the bait/lure to be launched much farther than hand-throwing can reach. The rod is usually fitted with a fishing reel which functions as a mechanism for storing, retrieving and paying out the line. Floats may also be used, and can function as bite indicators. The hook ...

7. Fly fishing tackle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_fishing_tackle

   Fly line is typically attached to a length of braided or gelspun line wound on the fly reel known as backing. The length and breaking strength of the backing required depends on the overall line capacity of the reel and the type of fish being sought. Backing may be as short as a few yards up to hundreds of yards if the reel has the capacity.
