	Johnston Tackle Corporation - Tuff Stuff - The King of String
		Fishing lines that retain more of their original length are generally much easier to cast when there is less coiling or memory in the line.
		Lines are also much easier to handle and manage when tying knots, and the fishing line can provide a better and a more realistic presentation of the angler's lure or bait.
		Factors that increase line memory are spooling line too tightly on the reel, over filling the reel, and leaving the line on the reel for too long a period.

	Monofilament line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monofilament line is a thin string made from a single fiber.
		Monofilament is made by melting and mixing polymers and feeding the end product through tiny holes, forming the line, which is then spun into spools of various thicknesses.
		DuPont seized the opportunity in 1959 and introduced Stren, a thinner monofilament line that could be used in a large range of reels, including newly introduced spinning and spin casting tackle.

	MonoFilament (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Here is an easy way to mount a monofilament line on your nestbox without danger of entangling birds using the box.
		The screws are about 2" long so as to allow the monofilament to be 1" away from the front of the roof and the box.
		The straight monofilament shown is tied tight between the screws.

	Fishing line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early fishing lines were often constructed from horse hair or silk thread, with catgut leaders.
		Most of these lines were made from linen, silk, and more rarely cotton or flax, sometimes with a waterproofing compound added during manufacture.
		Lines were either of braided or twisted construction, and early anglers often employed leaders of silkgut between the line and lure or bait in order to disguise the large diameter of their main fishing line.

	Finish-Line: Monofilament Fence
		Line posts should be at least 3 inches in diameter.
		Line Attachment to Posts - The recommended way to install Finish-Line Fencing is to staple the line to posts using staples and plastic insulators.
		On square end and corner posts, it is recommended that each strand of Finish-Line Fencing terminate and be anchored to the post with a one-way vice, in order to protect the fencing from the sharp edge of the post.

	Fishing Line (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The most popular fishing line used for sportfishing is monofilament nylon line, which is strong and durable and has a certain amount of stretch, which helps when an angler sets the hook.
		Braided lines, such as Dacron and braided multifilament lines, are frequently used for a style of fishing called jigging-where anglers lower the bait to near the water's bottom and then move it in an up-and-down manner in a steady motion.
		Because regular fly line is heavy and difficult to cast in a gentle manner, fly-fishers attach a short portion of monofilament line, called a leader, to the end of the fly line.

	Repelling Birds Using Monofilament Line
		It has been speculated that because monofilament line seems to appear and disappear, birds are repelled by the uncertainty of whether a barrier exists or not.
		To prevent tangling that would occur if the monofilament were placed directly on the branches of fruit trees, attach the line to the top of a pole placed in the center and extending about 2 feet above the top of the fruit tree.
		This allows berries to be harvested as they ripen, and still provides sufficient concentration of the monofilament line to repel birds that might be feeding on the berries.

		Discarded monofilament line is the source of an ongoing hazard to fish, wildlife and human interests in our rivers, estuaries, and oceans.
		This often results in entanglement with the line causing a slow death by losing their ability to fly, hunt for food or avoid predators.
		Monofilament line is not only a threat to wildlife but an expensive nuisance to boaters as well, becoming tangled in the propeller blades where it is not easily removed.

	Ande Monofilament
		The test class in relation to the diameter of the monofilament is as small, or smaller, in diameter as any other monofilament on the market today.
		It is a medium soft monofilament with excellent tensile and knot strength and is very abrasion resistant.
		If they catch a record fish with Ande Tournament line, it will meet the requirements of IGFA line class they are fishing, yet being as close to the line class as possible.

	Gulfandbay: Watch that line
		Monofilament line is among the top threats to pelicans and other wildlife.
		Discarded monofilament fishing line is the No. 1 killer of adult brown pelicans, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
		Birds are often hooked in the beak, wings or gullet after they strike a bait as it hits the water, or run afoul of the line as it floats in the air.

		The public is invited to participate in the 13th Annual Monofilament Cleanup on Saturday, October 14th.
		Monofilament line is the #1 killer of adult Brown Pelicans in Florida.
		The birds often get hooked when diving after bait near fisherman; cutting the line may seem to "free" the bird, but instead, frequently sentences it to a long and painful death from entanglement in tree branches.

	Commercial Line
		This line is manufactured using Lindgren-Pitman’s exclusive process to assure the finest commercial fishing monofilament lines possible.
		These manufacturing processes produce monofilament leader line with superior tensile and knot strength to diameter ratios as well as a high tolerance to surface abrasion and a high stretch which is critical when playing out large fish.
		Main Line is produced using the same advanced technology used to manufacture Prime Line Leader Line Monofilament resulting in a commercial main line that has a smaller diameter while offering superior tensile and knot strength and abrasion resistance than other monofilaments produced today.

	News Release
		Monofilament is typically a single strand, strong, flexible plastic that is clear or tinted blue, pink, or green.
		Answer: Monofilament is harmful to wildlife and a nuisance to boaters.
		The monofilament is then melted down into raw plastic pellets, which are used to create artificial fish habitats, tackle boxes, toys, and spools for fishing line.

	DEM ASKS ANGLERS TO TAKE CARE IN DISPOSING OF MONOFILAMENT LINE AND OTHER DANGERS TO WILDIFE
		Monofilament fishing line is by far the most dangerous debris item encountered by wildlife, according to Lori Gibson, supervising wildlife biologist at DEM.
		Within the last week alone in Rhode Island, Gibson continued, a cormorant with monofilament line and a hook and a robin with monofilament line were spotted by DEM staff, who were successful in untangling the robin, but could not reach the cormorant.
		Although monofilament line is the greatest hazard, hooks, lures and weights are often left behind at fishing sites and consumed by fish and wildlife, causing serious injury or illness, according to Gibson.

	Siege Monofilament by Sufix
		The wide spool is used so the line can be put on the spool in such a way that memory is eliminated, and so the line will come off the spool and onto a reel very smoothly, for tangle-free casting.
		Technology has enabled Sufix to build into Siege line the combination all anglers are looking for: a thin-diameter line that handles well and casts a long way with pinpoint accuracy, yet still possessing the hook-setting and fish-fighting power needed to conquer big stripers, spadefish and all of our favorite species.
		Line colors are clear, smoke, green, silver and neon tangerine, and spool sizes are 100, 300 and 3,000 yards.

	X. muta: Monofilament Line
		(2002) found that monofilament line made up 38% of total debris and was the class of debris most often responsible for causing tissue abrasion, damage, or mortality to sessile invertebrates.
		Below is data on total length of monofilament line collected at each site during surveys over the last 2 years.
		While little fishing line was recovered in Nov 2006 at Conch Reef, as much as 20 m were removed from transects at Pickles Reef.

	Fishing Line
		One thing to remember when using a good Spectra Braided line is to use heavier leader than normal because it is easy to snap the mono leader upon setting the hook since the Braid won't stretch.
		Braided line, due to it's small diameter to strength ratio, has one characteristic that could be negative to anglers making long casts.
		After the tension is applied to the line, such as when the angler is pulling against the rod and reel to free a hang up, or after the battle of a large fish, the imbedded line will cause the spool to stop suddenly during a cast.

	Turtle Time : Newspaper Clippings
		Monofilament entanglement continues to be a leading cause of death for Florida’s sea turtles and other wildlife.
		If the turtle is too big to capture, the fisherman should cut the line as close to the hook as possible so the animal doesn’t become entangled in the trailing monofilament.
		Monofilament is a bane to Southwest Florida wildlife, and people need to become aware of the problems it causes, Foley said.

	CCSWA Recycles Monofilament Fishing Line!
		The line will be collected here and sent to Berkley, maker of Berkley Trilene fishing line.
		When fishing line breaks or is left near the shore, fish and wildlife can often swim through it or even eat it.
		Eventually, the line around this fish would have cut through it, causing infection, death, or decreasing it's ability to swim or eat.

	What's My Line? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Monofilament gradually won the hearts of fishermen because it was cheaper and it cast better on spinning reels, which became popular in this country after servicemen brought them home from Europe in the years following WWII.
		If a reel is spooled with monofilament it’s not so much of a problem; patiently pick out the backlash or cut it out—chances are it doesn’t involve nearly as many turns.
		For the most part, line makers have solved the “slick line” dilemma posed by the original gel-spun polyethylene and have introduced new varieties that perform better.

	knots
		This is one of the most reliable means of joining two monofilament lines that are of dissimilar diameter.
		At knot connection points, the line is twisted, criss-crossed and joined with the hard surfaces of hooks, lures, swivels and other terminal tackle.
		To prevent twisted line on your spinning reel, spool the line from the storage spool in spiral fashion, in the same direction as the spinning reel bail is turning.

	Passive House Sparrow Control through the use of Monofilament Lines
		If a HOSP figures the line out, repositioning the line will sometimes begin the confusion all over again but generally I quickly trap the bird The EABL's, with their exceptional eyesight, fly into the nestbox unfazed by the monofilament line.
		I let the line dangle around the box also and there have been times when a piece of the line is pulled into the nest through the hole and mixed in with the nest.
		There is much info about monofilament line and it's long term effectiveness or ineffectiveness so make sure that you have done a complete investigation before proceeding and possibly putting nestlings in danger.

	MONOFILAMENT
		All main line sizes and colors are available produced on new Lindgren-Pitman long line reels in continuous lengths up to 2,500 lbs.
		If a monofilament's strength is a priority and outstanding performance is a must then Team Fish is without a question your best choice for monofilament.
		Team Fish offers a "softer" line with low memory and is easy to tie, yet maintains excellent knot strength and abrasion resistance.

	Fishing Line Entanglement
		Most fishing line that you can buy today is made of monofilament—a strong, flexible plastic that is often clear and is sometimes tinted blue, pink or green.
		Even fishing line that is thrown in the garbage can end up in the environment—either by blowing out of the garbage can or landfill, or by being taken out by birds or animals.
		Fishing line that has a lot of growth on it or plant material mixed up with it may not be recyclable.

	Monofilament Line Recycling
		Manatee, turtles, alligators, and other wildlife suffer from loss of limbs from line entanglement and even death from gangrenous infection, or ingestion of the line.
		Fishing line discarded in our waterways also fouls boat propellers which is a serious litter problem, especially around boat ramps and fishing areas.
		Even when the line is disposed in trash bins it still goes to the landfill which creates the same hazards for wildlife, unless it is cut into small pieces.
