About Cord (Fishing Net Twine) Options
Fishing Net Twine
The idea of twisting fibers together originated circa 2800 BC. Twisted cords made with grass, flax, or cotton were used for fishing nets.
Twisted twine was the original type of cord used for strung rosaries. The first twine made with nylon was in the early 1950s. It is the same cord used to make fishing nets. The photo has an example of a rosary knotted with fishing net twine.

Benefits of the Nylon Material
This type of cord has tightly twisted 3-ply nylon yarn. Nylon has the highest strength and shock absorbency of any synthetic rope. It is weather-resistant, resists fraying, feels smooth, and holds its knots well. This same cord is used for fishing nets.
How Cord Compares
Twisted nylon cord is different from Paracord. As shown in the photo, Paracord has a woven texture. The core is the same style of twisted nylon cord with an outer layer woven around it. As a result, it is thicker and feels padded. Both are 100% nylon and sturdy. Click to learn more about the difference between twisted cord and Paracord.
