Monofilament Fishing LineMonofilament fishing line is made by melting and mixing polymers and then extruding the molten plastic through a die with tiny holes, forming strands of line, which is then spun into spools of various thicknesses. The extrusion process controls not only the thickness of the line but also the pound test of the line. It is a relatively inexpensive process that results in a less costly fishing line. Because monofilament fishing line can absorbe water caution should be taken when fishing with monofilament in saltwater. Unlike Fluorcarbon materials, Monifilament can degrade with exposure to sunlight and degrades over time. It's important to remember that the cheaper brands of monifilamnent line are not subjected to the standards that top name brands we carry. |
