Monofilament line: a single strand of nylon, available in a wide range of breaking strengths. It is the
most popular type of line in use today with anglers. After a period of time, however, the
monofilament will loose some of its properties, resulting in a reduction of its breaking strength, and
thus the angler needs to check his or her line and replace it if necessary.
