Bioline Biodegradable Fishing Line

Features

• 100% biodegradable fishing line
• Low visibility, clear
• High UV and abrasion resistance
• Excellent knot strength
• Fishes like monofilament with the clarity of fluorocarbon

Bioline is the first, 100 percent biodegradable fishing line on the market. Made from poly(butylene succinate) or PBS, bioline is engineered to retain its strength and durability for the first 10-12 months of use and then completely degrade in water or on land within five years. Standard monofilament fishing line lasts over 600 years.

Bioline Biodegradable Fishing Line performs as well as monofilament with outstanding abrasion and knot strength while having the clarity of fluorocarbon.

The degradation process starts at the surface of the line. Microorganisms begin breaking down and digesting bioline fishing line with the aid of sunlight and moisture. Bioline becomes a combination of CO2, H2O and biomass. After the initial 10-12 months of use, the line begins to lose its tensile strength. The loss of tensile strength allows wildlife caught in lost line to break free. Conventional monofilament does not degrade for 600 years and fishing line pollution entangles birds, turtles and other wildlife.
