nylon line

Synthetic fishing cord

Nylon line is cordage made from synthetic nylon fiber, valued for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to rot.

The term appears most often in fishing contexts, where monofilament nylon line dominates: I need to respool with fresh nylon line.

It also refers to trimmer line for weed cutters and general-purpose rope.
