What Is Monofilament?

Monofilament is single-strand, high-density, nylon fishing line used on reels and in cast nets.

All monofilament fishing line can be recycled regardless of weight and test strength. However braided line and spider wire cannot be recycled.

Monofilament is strong and invisible in the water. This makes it excellent for fishing, but makes it hazardous to wildlife and people when it is discarded.

Discarded Monofilament line lasts about 600 years in the marine environment!
