Dacron Line
Dacron Line
Dacron is a woven polyester line that predates modern braid and is still used where its particular properties matter.
It is soft, thick for its breaking strain, and it has more stretch than braid but far less than mono. That thickness is exactly why it works as backing: it fills a spool quickly and cheaply beneath a top shot, and it grips the spool where slick braid would slip.
It is also the traditional choice for game fishing backing and for wind-on leader connections, where the woven structure lets you splice rather than knot. Anglers who like it tend to keep using it for that reason. Main lines are in braided line, and line and leader covers everything else.
