What Is Fishing Twine?

Fishing Twine is a high-strength rope-like thread used for making fishing nets, shoe stitching, packaging, and construction work. Fishing twine is often used alongside fishing line as essential fishing equipment, with both playing complementary roles in angling, net making, and fishing gear.

Twines can be made from a variety of materials, both synthetic and natural, and are widely used in net making and outdoor applications due to their strength and durability. It is available in polyester and nylon materials, both offering excellent resistance to moisture, sunlight, and chemicals. Hemp is a popular natural alternative for eco-friendly and sustainable twine, suitable for crafts and gardening. Known for its smooth texture and knot stability, fishing twine is ideal for industrial sewing, net making, and handcrafts.

Types of Fishing Twine

1. Polyester Fishing Twine

Polyester fishing twine is made from 100% high-tenacity polyester filament.
It is UV-resistant, oil-resistant, and low-stretch, making it suitable for fishing nets, gardening ropes, and shoe sewing.
The twine remains strong even when wet, making it perfect for long-term marine and outdoor use.

Key Features:

  • Excellent abrasion resistance
  • Long-lasting color and durability
  • Ideal for seine twine, trot line, and construction applications
  • Available in dyed colors and various spool sizes

It’s great for craft making, rope tying, net repair, and industrial packaging.

Advantages:

  • High flexibility and tensile strength
  • Resistant to oil, saltwater, and chemicals
  • Excellent for tying nets, binding ropes, or heavy-duty sewing

4. PE Fishing Twine (Polyethylene)

PE fishing twine, or polyethylene twine, is a strong yet lightweight fiber known for superior knot strength and durability.
It is a popular choice for deep-sea fishing nets, seine nets, and longline ropes, offering excellent UV and chemical resistance.

Key Advantages:

  • High tensile strength with minimal elongation
  • Non-absorbent and quick-drying
  • Excellent weather and corrosion resistance
  • Suitable for heavy-duty marine ropes, net weaving, and industrial packaging

Compared to PP twine, PE twine is tougher and more durable, making it ideal for professional fishing operations and outdoor industrial applications.

Fishing twine is widely used for net making, seine twine weaving, and trot line assembly.
Its resistant and strong nature allows long-lasting performance in saltwater environments.
Many fishermen prefer polyester or nylon twine for their low water absorption and high knot stability.

2. Shoe Sewing and Industrial Use

In the footwear industry, fishing twine is perfect for stitching leather shoes, boots, and sports shoes.
It also performs well in construction, gardening, and agriculture where strength and endurance are required.

3. Crafts, Gardening, and Household Applications
