what is copolymer fishing line

Copolymer fishing line is a type of fishing line made from two different types of nylon line combined. The two polymers are melted together and extruded to create the line. Copolymer lines are thinner than monofilament lines of the same strength, making them more sensitive and allowing for greater casting distance. They also stretch less than monofilament lines, which can be an advantage when setting the hook. Copolymer lines are resistant to regular wear and tear, making them a durable choice for fishing. According to Mike Iaconelli, a professional angler, there is not much of a difference between copolymer and monofilament lines nowadays, as almost all copolymer monofilament lines are copolymer.
