Among fishing tackle, fish line has the simplest structure, however, its quality is very critical to overall performance. Thus, we evaluated tensile strength of fishing line. Most commercially available fishing line is made from polymer materials, such as nylon, Fishing line made of nylon was used in this study. It is known that, unlike that of metals, the mechanical behavior of viscoelastic materials shows significant time-temperature dependence. Therefore, the effects of displacement speed and cross-sectional area on tensile strength were investigated.
