Bioline is the first 100% biodegradable fishing line on the market. Made from a special formula of poly-butylene succinate, or PBS, bioline is engineered to retain its strength and durability for the first 10-12 months of use and then completely degrade in water or on land within five years. Standard monofilament fishing line lasts over 600 years.
The new bioline product performs as well as monofilament with outstanding abrasion resistance and knot strength while having the clarity of fluorocarbon. bioline is the choice for weekend warriors and top anglers looking for a more earth-friendly alternative.
The degradation process starts at the surface of the line. Microorganisms begin breaking down and digesting bioline with the aid of sunlight and moisture. bioline becomes a combination of CO2, H2O and biomass. After the initial 10-12 months of use, the line begins to lose its tensile strength. The loss of tensile strength allows wildlife caught in lost line to break free. Standard monofilament does not degrade for 600 years and discarded line entangles birds, turtles and other wildlife.
Eagle Claw strives to be the leader in “green” fishing gear for anglers around the world and looks for opportunities to work with other organizations committed to conserve our natural resources and waterways.
Eagle Claw is proud to bring bioline, the first 100% biodegradable premium fishing line, to the market. bioline is available in 225 yard spools in 4-12 lb test.
