It has also been used for string trimmers, musical instrument strings, sewing thread and bent in the shape of a staple for use as a septum piercing retainer. The transparency of monofilament fishing line makes it desirable for special effects where objects need to look like they are floating unsupported. Monofilament fishing line is used sometimes in medicine to test the sense of touch. It is advisable to change the monofilament line at regular intervals to prevent degradation. When stored on a spool for a long time, it may come off the fishing reel in coils or loops. Team NZP is designing projects and patterns to be sewn with Nancy ZiemanвЂ™s innovative sewing techniques. Monofilament degrades with time and can weaken when exposed to heat, sunlight, and/or saltwater. Monofilament is not advisable for deepwater fishing, since it can absorb water, resulting in loose knots, and its sensitivity can decrease when it is wet. Monofilament fishing line is used in a huge variety of fishing applications. It is often used for deep water fishing from boats because lower diameters are used, which give less resistance to currents, and the low stretch makes bites easily detectable. Because the elastic stretching is only a fraction of that of nylon monofilament, the contact with fish or bait is more direct. although when fishing line sinks fishing can swim right into it.Дyneema is also becoming very popular and it is much stronger, but it is used mostly as a braided fishing line. It is denser than nylon, too, which makes it sink faster. Furthermore, PVDF does not take up water and it is resistant to UV-light. The surface is harder so it is more resistant to sharp fish teeth and wear. Optical density is lower, which makes the line less easily discernible. Polyvinylidene fluoride (also sold as fluorocarbon or PVDF) is very much like nylon monofilament, but has several advantages. New materials, e.g., Spectra or Dyneema, are finding growing usage as fishing lines. Stren's monofilament lines soon became a favorite with many fishermen because of its overall ease of use and it spawned a whole host of imitators. In 1959 DuPont introduced Stren, a thinner and much softer monofilament line that could be used in a large range of reels, including newly introduced spinning and spin casting tackle.

Early monofilament did, however, have good knot strength and very low visibility to the fish, creating a small loyal following among fishermen. In 1939, DuPont began marketing nylon monofilament fishing lines however, braided Dacron lines remained the most used and popular fishing line for the next two decades, as early monofilament line was very stiff or 'wiry', and difficult to handle and cast. This new invention was the first synthetic fiber, fabrics that are commonly used in textiles today. DuPont made public in 1938 that their company had invented nylon.
