Monofilament Line

Monofilament is preferred over other fishing lines as they are user friendly and can be designed to adapt to the changing fishing conditions. Polymers in definite proportion are heated till they turn into a fluid of desired consistency. This hot fluid is then extruded through very small holes to form strands of line. The diameter of the line is determined by the size of extrusion hole. This is then cooled quickly. The ingredient that goes into the making of Monofilament fishing line determines the features of line such as limpness, strength, toughness and casting. Stiffer lines hold the shape of the spool.  They are cheaper to use. However the costlier versions are more durable and have consistent strength, color and diameter. This has amazing potential to stretch. The wider range of stretch becomes more flexible when big fishes get hooked and at same time it’s difficult to hook. The degree to which the fishing line can be stretched depends on the amount of additives that goes into the making.
