In ancient times, in the collection activities, people gradually had a certain understanding of the fiber of plants, such as wild Ma, Ge Teng, etc., so they used these fibers to rub the cables. The emergence of the rope was quickly used to fish. The first fishing line was.


About 50,000 years ago, the shape of our ancestors had evolved to the same as modern people. Their academics met with bone needles to sew animal skin clothes, and the clan society gradually formed. After a long time, it entered the Neolithic era. At this stage, China produced a brilliant Yangshao culture and Longshan culture. In the cultural victory that belongs to this era in recent decades, in addition to finding a large number of stone tools and knife, teeth, and crickets made with animal bone, many fish forks and fish hooks have been found. Fishing history is of great significance. The bone fish hooks discovered by Yangshao Culture in Banpo Village, Xi'an Province, Shaanxi Province and the bone fish hook unearthed from the Kaihu Gang of Xiaoxing, Heilongjiang Province, is about six thousand years of history. It is the earliest fishing cultural relics found in my country. In the archeology of the Neolithic Age throughout the province, such as the Ning'an site in Heilongjiang, the Dachengshan site in Tangshan City, Hebei, and the Azhan site in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, have found many bone fish hooks. The shapes of these fish hooks are diverse, and some of them have spines under the tip of the hook. Most of the fish hooks also have a tie fishing line, which proves that the fishing activities at that time had a high level. These sites are located in the inland areas, and it is very common to see fishing in freshwater waters.


The earliest written records about bamboo fishing rods in my country are found in the "Book of Songs" more than 2,000 years ago. Refers to a tributary of the Yellow River, located in the northern part of Henan Province today), which shows that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people had fishing in the river with thin bamboo poles.


According to records, the earliest application of silk as a fishing line in China was twisted into a line of lines. Western records are the long hair of cutting the ponytail as a precious wire fishing for salmon. In the age of science that has not yet sprouted, all material depends on nature supply. Taking materials on the spot is the best way. For example, one of the two shells that can spit on the rocks along the Mediterranean coast. Beautiful clothes are extraordinary. This kind of silk should also be a good prop. In addition, Hawaiian indigenous cobweb and Qiong Ma of Nanyang are all materials that can be used as fishing lines.


There are many types of fishing lines. The simplest fishing line is to use cotton threads, tingling and silk threads. These ancient fishing lines do not know how many centuries have been used. The tension of the cotton lines is relatively poor, and the silk thread is stronger than the tension of the cotton linen, but their common weakness is that the tension is small, and it also absorbs water, has great resistance, and has a large extension. Of course, it is not an ideal fishing line.


In rural areas, fishermen use ponytail hair to catch fishing lines. They use 2 to 3 ponytail hairs as a strand, and then connect to the fishing line. It is also very particular when connecting, so that the joints are down downward, called "Shunshui Drag", which can reduce the resistance of water. With the ponytail as a fishing line, there are more tensiles and water. There are currently many people who use rural areas in my country.


There was a fishing line in the past, a white tendon called "Yanglazi" insects in the forest. Some of this "Yangrazi" is about 7-8 cm long. It is full of poisonous thorns. When people touch it, the skin is red and swollen, and the fire burns the pain. People use a knife to open its back, and there is a thick line -like white tendon in the body, which can be pulled arbitrarily. After people pull it to a certain thickness, they are immediately soaked in vinegar, and it will no longer be extended and shortened, becoming a semi -transparent white thread of about 40-50 cm long. Then connect with many such "white lines" and make fishing lines. It has a certain tension and does not stick to the water. It is not visible after entering the water. It is suitable for fishing small fish.


The advent of the nylon line (also known as the nylon line) created a new world for fishing activities. The current nylon wire is loved by fishermen. First of all, the nylon line has strong tensile force, no water absorption, small resistance, high transparency, and it is not easy to find fish. However, everything has duality. Although the nylon line has many advantages, there are also some obvious disadvantages. For example, it is afraid of being squeezed by hard objects and the tension at the nodules after knotting. It will lose elastic hardness and crisp. But with the advancement of science and technology, these shortcomings have gradually improved. For example, the ordinary nylon line produced in my country is relatively small, which is relatively small, which is not as good as some similar products abroad, but now the high -intensity and low extension of the nylon line produced in my country is very good and can be comparable to foreign products.


In addition to a single -stock nylon line, there is also a co -forming compound silk nylon line (nylon weaving line). This kind of thread is small, large tensile, not afraid of squeezing, and has good softness. Now many are many. Fishermen often use it as a sub -line, and some fishermen use thick nylon wires to catch big fish in the sea.


Now the production of the fishing line also develops with the intervention of high -tech, and has developed in a leap. For example, carbon fluorine coating fishing line is one of them. The degree of abrasion resistance, tensile resistance, nodule destruction rate, etc., increase to the unparalleled level of general nylon wires. Some lines of the cross section of the cross section are only one -tenth of the hair, but their fishing power exceeds dozens of times the hair.
