Not just for fishing line! Great for antennas too!
Stan Anderton✓ Verified Purchase•October 21, 2017
Great for ham radio radials! I have multiple chalk line reels filled with this wire. Extend each out according to band used and perfect for portable operation. I use these with a telescoping vertical when camping with VERY good results.
Super item, fast service

Wow! My pictures just got a wire upgrade.
Review Not✓ Verified Purchase•February 7, 2017
If you're looking for picture hanging wire, this stuff is the nines. It is beautiful. A little bit thinner than most picture wire, but 45# ought to handle a majority of pictures. And it pretty much disappears when hanging pictures from a picture rail. Except for that little glint of pretty copper from time to time.
Makes a nice lightweight HF pack antenna for HAM Radio - I hear you can use it for fishing too. ;-)

Lets start this by saying that I found the right crimp connectors for the 45lb version of this line. Mini Copper Double Barrel Crimp Sleeves 1.0mm x 7mm - 100 pieces I also used these wire thimbles as strain relief on the crimped in loops. Billfisher PTH-50 Thimbles Fishing Swivels
I ordered this line to make lightweight, nearly invisible HAM Radio HF (High Frequency) antennas. While it is challenging to work with, it does indeed do the job at a reasonable price. (I ordered the 600ft, 45lb version)
Pros:
- Reasonable price compared to other antenna-specific wire
- Thin and nearly invisible
- Light weight for those who want a portable pack antenna for field use
- Strong enough to hold up a reasonable length of RG-8x feed cable and a light center connector/balun for up to a 20m free hanging antenna. I think it will work for a 40m antenna too, but I have not been able to test it properly.
- Perfect stealth wire for most HF applications if you can support the center
- You have the joy of improvising
- You can brag that you've made contacts using fishing line as an antenna. :-)
Cons:
- It will kink up badly if you don't pay attention to coils and tension
- Likes to coil up when you release tension
- Not sure if it is strong enough to make a free hanging dipole for anything over 20m.
I originally bought this to reload a pair of camping clothesline reels with. You just unspool enough wire to work on your desired frequency and have at it. I got sidetracked into making frequency specific pre-cut antenna sections instead. I hope I get back to my original plan before I use up the entire spool!
