Texas Bushcraft Tarred Bank Line Twine - #36 Black Nylon String for Fishing, Camping and Outdoor Survival – Strong, Weather Resistant Bankline Cordage for Trotline

The Texas Bushcraft tarred bank line is a really solid piece of cordage that feels tough and dependable right out of the spool. It has a strong, waxy coating that helps it resist moisture and wear, which makes it great for outdoor and survival use. The line ties knots easily and holds them well without slipping, which is something I really like when using it in the field. It’s lightweight but surprisingly strong for its size, making it easy to carry in a pack without taking up much space. It’s also versatile—you can use it for tying, securing gear, or general outdoor tasks, and it holds up under pressure without fraying easily. Overall, this is a durable, reliable twine that performs well outdoors and is a great addition to any camping, fishing, or survival kit.

I bought for practicing snares. I wanted to try something else instead of wire. I haven't set any yet but like the looks of this item. Seems strong.

I bought the Texas Bushcraft #36 tarred bank line because it boasted the highest breaking strength at 350lbs, and I’ve tried plenty of other brands up here in Alaska to fix my nets. Without a doubt, this is the best and strongest line I’ve found so far. It works perfectly, holds up through harsh weather, and doesn’t fray or weaken like other brands. Affordable, reliable, and tough enough to handle serious use, a must have for anyone who needs a line that can actually take a beating.

Perfect for all uses. I use several thousand feet per year making catfish jug lines for my family. I have tried other brands and they do not compare. Soft enough to be workable, plenty of stickiness for tying in knots and having them stay tied.

I first ordered this product based on high reviews for a strong nylon cord that could withstand sun and rain exposure, but I've never purchased "tarred" nylon before. I was banking on a minimum of 120 ft. per each roll, but when we carefully measured and cut 10 ft. increments from the first purchased roll, the spool only contained 110 ft. instead of the chart listing of 121 ft. We purchased a 2nd roll and pre-measured the whole roll first, and again, only 110 ft. After contacting the seller, we tried a 3rd roll, and once again, it only had 110 ft per roll. I've attached a photos of the empty spool weight of .7 oz, total weight of new spool at 4.5 oz, and tared new spool weight of 3.8 oz after subtracting the spool weight. When browsing around other similar products since those purchases, it seems to be a standard to state about 120 ft per 1/4 lb of this kind of twisted tarred nylon string, but in actuality, there must be some predictable variable that shortens the actual available product ... the tarring process? the machinery process? Even the total weight of the unwrapped string after taring out the spool weight is only 3.8 ounces (not the 4 oz advertised). I'm very happy with the strength of the cord itself and how easy it is to work with. Plus, there is no detectable residue to bare hands when working with it. I'm just sad to think every roll has been 11 ft. "short" so far, so if I need more, I might have to rethink where to buy it from. The company has kindly offered to check into this issue, which helps reassure me other customers might not have to feel the same frustration and disappointment I did. If you do not need a length-specific roll for a planned project like we did, maybe the the precise roll length won't matter to you. It is a quality durable cord from what I can tell by first experience, just not as originally advertised by weight OR length. I just prefer a trust system where I can match a product with it's stated claims. At the very least, changing the listing terms to reflect the shorter length would be immensely helpful for buyers like myself (reducing the risk of unmatched expectations).

Great for repairing trampoline net. I was able to sew the net on to the springs.

Must have for tarp camping, Great bank line.
