2. Polyvinylidene fluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylidene_fluoride

   PVDF is used for specialty monofilament fishing lines, sold as fluorocarbon replacements for nylon monofilament. The surface is harder, so it is more resistant to abrasion and sharp fish teeth. Its refractive index is lower than nylon, which makes the line less discernible to fish eyes. It is also denser than nylon, making it sink faster ...

3. Fluorocarbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorocarbon

   Perfluoroalkanes are very stable because of the strength of the carbon–fluorine bond, one of the strongest in organic chemistry. [4] Its strength is a result of the electronegativity of fluorine imparting partial ionic character through partial charges on the carbon and fluorine atoms, which shorten and strengthen the bond (compared to carbon-hydrogen bonds) through favorable covalent ...

4. Fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_line

   Fishing line with hooks attached. A fishing line is any flexible, high-tensile cord used in angling to tether and pull in fish, in conjunction with at least one hook.Fishing lines are usually pulled by and stored in a reel, but can also be retrieved by hand, with a fixed attachment to the end of a rod, or via a motorized trolling outrigger.

7. Load line (watercraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_line_(watercraft)

   The fresh water load line is an amount equal to ⁠ Δ / 4T ⁠ millimetres above the summer load line where Δ is the displacement in tonnes at the summer load draft and T is the tonnes per centimetre immersion at that draft. In any case where Δ cannot be ascertained, the freshwater load line is at the same level as the tropical load line.
