Is there such a thing as black fishing line?

Lilypud asked:


I remember many years ago fishing with a cane pole with black fishing line. Is this fishing line still sold today? I need something similar for craft items. The clear line doesn’t knot as well.

    You might want to look for vintage line.
    They were made from linen, silk or cotton

    Spider wire makes a black line. You can also find my fishing line companies that make braided black line.
    Western makes a black teflon coated braided line in various lbs.

    Western N12050 Nylon Ice Line, 20# 50 yards, Black Teflon Coated 2C128

    We use braided line on all our reels for our halibut sportfishing charters.

    I’ll bet you were using black plastic coated ice fishing line. I haven’t seen it for sale in years. Might try a search for it.

    Yes, braided dacron fishing line is still available.

    Here’s a link:

    Here’s a tip for using dacron line. When tying knots, use a small drop of super glue directly on knot.
