    Having caught a 33 lb. catfish with this line speaks for it self. Only Braid I have used for 10 years. 8 lb. works for a lot of fresh water fish. Polymer knot and its fishing time.

    Works better than most beading thread. Is flexible, yet strong.

    Smelled nasty when I opened the product. It is unusable. I have never had this issue with other fireline sellers

    Works great, but the black transfers pretty easily and gets all over my hands when I use for beading.

    I have used 6lb black fireline before and this doesnt handle like the 6lb fireline that I have used. It freys and is thin. Must be off a bad spool to create this particular spool.

When you want to create necklaces or bracelets quickly and efficiently, Fireline is up to the task. This is a microfused, braided bead thread consisting of Dyneema, a gel-spun polyethylene which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended in numerous how-to articles on beadworking. Originally used in the fishing industry as a strong fishing line, the thread was adopted by the jewelry making community and has been super popular ever since.

Fireline comes in 5 sizes: 2lb. test strength with a .003”/.07mm diameter, 4lb. test with a .005”/.12mm diameter, 6lb. test with a .006”/.15mm diameter, 8lb. test with a .007”/.17mm diameter, 10lb. test with a .008”/.20mm diameters and 14lb. test with a .009”/.22mm diameter. The spools come in a variety of lengths and in 3 colors: clear, black and smoke grey. For stringing and weaving we suggest English beading needles. Use a #12 for 2-6lb. test and a #10 for larger diameters. To finish off your Fireline jewelry your best option is a thread burner. The Beadsmith Thread Zappers are a perfect solution. You can control exactly where the heat is applied. Tie a knot to finish your project and burn the end. A small ball will form on the melted end, preventing the knot from untying.
