Abstract
An enhanced fishing line has a unique combination of breaking strength and elongation properties to provide a high level of flexibility, a high ultimate knot breaking strength, and a high level of breaking toughness that is defined as the actual work per unit volume of material required to break the material. The line is a monofilament construction made of a synthetic polymeric material such as a polyamide, polyester, polyethylene, or fluropolymer and manufactured by an extrusion process followed by a drawing process where the extruded diameter is between 1.1 and 1.4 times the diameter of the finished line after drawing.
