2. Braided fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braided_fishing_line

   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 ...

3. Rope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope

   Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous material (e.g., rattan, a natural material), but generally is constructed of certain natural or synthetic fibres. [1] [2] [3] Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than their natural fibre counterparts, they have a higher tensile strength, they are more resistant to rotting than ropes created from natural fibres, and they can be ...

4. Multifilament fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifilament_fishing_line

   This type of fishing line is expensive, sometimes four times the cost of equivalent monofilament. This can become a considerable expense, especially considering that the line is so thin that one needs more of it to fill a reel spool. Sometimes, a backing of monofilament or other line is used under the braided line on the spool. [3]

6. Furled leader - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furled_Leader

   A furled leader (also known as twined leader) is a type of knotless tapered fly fishing leader. It is known for high performance, low memory, [1] [2] and soft artificial fly presentation when casting. These attributes are due to the way these leaders are constructed which is similar to creating rope. The big difference is that furled leaders ...

7. Monofilament fishing line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monofilament_fishing_line

   DuPont made public in 1938 that their company had invented nylon. [1] This new invention was the first synthetic fiber, fabrics that are commonly used in textiles today. [2] In 1939, DuPont began marketing nylon monofilament fishing lines; however, braided Dacron lines remained the most used and popular fishing line for the next two decades, as early monofilament line was very stiff or "wiry ...
