Elongated bodies made from high tenacity polyolefin fibers are provided that are useful as fishing lines, and processes for making the lines. Fibers having tenacities of at least 39 g/denier are braided and fused together to form braided bodies having very small diameters.

The invention presented is a remote-controlled fishing bobber system. The fishing bobber is made up of a bottom portion being independently rotational from a top portion. The bottom portion of the bobber has a through channel connecting two ports on opposing sides. One or more protective screens protect the through channel. The system includes a propelling system with a pump, a motor, a control circuitry, a battery, and a remote control. A reverse motor direction causes the independent rotation of the bottom portion from the top portion by engaging a gear system.

A system and device for threading fishing line through guides mounted on a fishing rod is disclosed, along with a method for using the system or device. A shaft is supported between paired gates. The shaft has a back end to attach to a fishing line. A carrier assembly is configured to hold the paired gates, and to permit mounted guides to pass between open paired gates while being threaded with the fishing line by the shaft, as the shaft is being fixedly retained between other paired gates. A funneling channel of an end cap module is attached to the carrier assembly near the front end of the shaft. While passing the carrier assembly over each of the mounted guides, the funneling channel funnels each of the mounted guides to encircle the front end of the shaft, thereby threading the mounted guides with fishing line.

Articles such as a net, a round sling or a splice include a resin-impregnated lengthy body having multifilamentary yarns comprised of high performance polyethylene (HPPE) fibres and a polymeric resin dispersed throughout a cross-section of the multifilamentary yarns. The the polymeric resin is a homopolymer or copolymer of ethylene and/or propylene, wherein the polymeric resin has a density as measured according to ISO1183 in the range from 860 to 930 kg/m.sup.3, a melting temperature in the range from 40 to 140? C. and a heat of fusion of at least 5 J/g.

The disclosure provides embodiments of an environmentally friendly fishing line that includes renewable natural fibers, and in some embodiments the disclosed fishing line optionally includes an environmentally friendly renewable natural coating. Some of the embodiments of the disclosed fishing line include, for example, a single strand line, or a braided or plaited line made from multiple threads, strands or yarns. Other embodiments of the disclosed fishing line are degradable over a predetermined timeline. These embodiments are preferred because of the low environmental impact of the disclosed fishing lines when compared to, for example, well known synthetic polymer fishing lines.
