Abstract
The present invention relates to a fishing line which has a good balance between strength and extension so that not only the fishing line is prevented from breaking in the middle of fishing but also it is easy to perform fishing operation. The fishing line of the invention characterized in that a body of the fishing line has a first characteristic in which the percentage of initial extension in a tensile force of 2.0 g/d is not lower than 10%, and a second characteristic in which the percentage of extension in a tensile force range of from 2.0 to 4.5 g/d is lower than the initial extension percentage, the percentage of extension at the time of breaking is not higher than 40%, and the breaking strength at the time of breaking is not smaller than 4.5 g/d.
