What is Nylon Line?

[Tackleholic]

I ordered some items from a well known supplier;   they sent me a free spool of Sunline Nylon Line.  How does it compare to fluoro. and mono.?

 

One more question....where can I order trailerhook tubing?

 

Thanks , guys.

Nylon is generally referred to as monofilament. But since monofilaments technically include fluorocarbon since it’s is a single filament line sometimes the distinction is made. So nylon is the floating, stretchy line that you know as monofilament.

Mono = nylon monifilament

Fluoro = fluorocarbon monofilament

It's mono.  Flouro is mono to really confuse things.  Monofilament lines are the extruded plastic lines.  Basically non braided lines that are a singular polymer/polymer blend in a uniform filament.  Aka monofilament fishing lines.  100% flourocarbon monofilament lines are made from fluorocarbon.  Nylon monofilament fishing lines are made from nylon.  Expect a Sunline nylon monofilament line to be a good quality "mono" line.

I'm just sitting here staring at this thinking what to type,.... No, I got nothing....

All “mono” lines are Nylon or blends of Nylon and polyester or polyurethane called copolymer mono line.

The highest end small diameter line is made by Sunline called Shooter Diefer Armilo Nylon Mono line.

Co-extruded line like Yo-Zuri Hybrid is often called Copolymer line incorrectly...it’s hybrid because it’s mono line co- extruded with Fluorocarbon jacket.

Fluorocarbon is a monofilament (single filament) line but marketed as Fluorocarbon line to separate it from Nylon.

ps, 1/16 poly tubing at a aquarium fish store.

Take a hook with you to size it properly.

I just ordered some earlier today. I’m anxious to try it.

Except Yo-Zuri isn't like the rest of the co-polymers. Yo-Zuri is co-extruded, but filaments of flourocarbon are encased in a nylon base.

And where do they put the Kool Aid?...
