PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing line that can greatly improve a tensile breaking strength, and alternatively, can be made into a small diameter extremely easily while maintaining a fixed tensile breaking strength, then, is superior in abrasion resistance and binding easiness, and greatly facilitates conformance with the width standard, and further is light, flexible and durable.SOLUTION: A magnitude of tensile breaking strength of metal wire may not necessarily contribute to the tensile breaking strength of a fishing line comprising composite yarn of the metal wire and synthetic fibers. By paying attention to this, multifilament yarn of synthetic fibers having a fixed mechanical strength property is used for both of the core and the outer circumferential side of the core which constitute the fishing line. As a result, the fishing line that is light, flexible and durable can be provided.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】引張破断力を大幅に向上させることができ、その一方で、一定の引張破断力を維持したままで極めて容易に細径化することができる。そして、耐摩耗性と結束容易性に優れ、かつ、太さ標準規格との一致化が極めて容易で、軽くて、柔軟で、丈夫な釣糸を提供すること。【解決手段】金属線と合成繊維の複合糸から成る釣糸の引張破断力は、金属線の引張破断力の大きさが必ずしも寄与していないことに着目し、一定の機械的強度特性を有する合成繊維のマルチフィラメント糸を、釣糸を構成する芯部と芯部の外周の側部との双方に用いる。これにより、軽くて、柔軟で、丈夫な釣糸が提供できる。【選択図】図3
