PE line, the full name is Polyethylene Line, and its Chinese name is polyethylene line. It is a widely used fishing line material. It is woven from multiple polyethylene fibers and has the characteristics of high tensile strength, low ductility and good wear resistance. The following is a detailed introduction to PE lines:
1. Historical development: The development of PE thread has experienced a transformation from natural materials such as silk, linen, and cotton to synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon. In the 1990s, with the emergence of Dyneema, the dominance of PE lines in the fishing world was consolidated.
2. Classification: PE threads can be divided into 4 braids, 8 braids, 12 braids, etc. according to the number of braided strands. The higher the braid number, the tighter and smoother the thread, the greater the pulling force, and the higher the cost.
3 Applicable scenarios: PE line is particularly suitable for long-range casting and fine fishing, and can provide high sensitivity and good casting performance. However, in environments with complex underwater structures, it is recommended to use it with a leader line to reduce wear of the PE line.
