Product details
We supply nylon monofilament fishing line in three grades, so you can build a range from a value line to a premium line. All grades are available in clear and in more than 20 colors, on the spool length and packaging you choose. The tables list straight strength, knot strength and elongation, the three numbers buyers use to compare monofilament.
