A fishing line, fishing line monofilament, and method for producing the same

Abstract

A monofilament fishing line, a multifilament fishing line, and method for producing the same are provided. The multifilament fishing line may contain a braided or twisted article containing a plurality of monofilaments that are braided or twisted. The monofilament fishing line and the multifilament fishing line may each include a monofilament containing a liquid crystal polymer (LCP). The LCP may be formed from a reaction selected from the group consisting of (i) a polycondensation reaction between aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids; and (ii) a polycondensation reaction between an aromatic hydroxy carboxylic acid and at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of aromatic dicarboxylic acids, aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, aliphatic carboxylic acids, aromatic hydroxyamines, aromatic diamines, aromatic diols, and aliphatic diols. The monofilament fishing line and the multifilament fishing line may each have a knot strength ranging from
