Difference between nylon and PE cables

Releasing date: 2023-11-14 09:23:09

There are obvious differences between nylon thread and PE thread in several aspects.

1. Material: Nylon thread and PE thread are made of different materials. Nylon thread is made of nylon raw materials and temperature draw, while PE thread is made of multi-stranded PE fiber braided and impregnated with glue, also known as Hercules line (Hercules is the representative brand of PE thread), braided wire, etc..

2. Performance: In terms of performance, nylon thread and PE thread are also different. For example, nylon line has a certain degree of stretch, when the cup is quickly cleared when there is an opportunity to take advantage of, but at the same time will lose a certain amount of signal, this aspect of the angler must be supplemented with technology. The overall tension of PE line is strong, but the knot at the point of folding is very weak, so the use of PE line must be tied in front of the guide, but also derived from the classic FG knot (also known as the GT knot, so that the knot can deal with the strong force of the GT impulse, hence the name) and doubleline (double line knot double means that in the knot at the original line is the double the tension, hence the name).

3. Usage: Nylon line and PE line are used differently on dropshot and spinning reels. For example, professional nylon line is suitable for teardrop wheel, because PE line will be very difficult to untie after frying powder, while nylon line is very good to untie. Users of spinning wheels will use both PE and nylon lines because nylon line is superior to PE line in that it is easier to detect when the line has a dark wound.

Overall, there is a clear difference between nylon and PE thread in terms of material, performance, and use. The specific choice of which wire needs to be determined according to the actual needs and scenarios.
