The Nylon Backbone 290Kg 2.5mm Green 1.5m Stoppered 1000 Meters is a purpose-built, heavy-duty longline backbone engineered for professional fisheries. With a robust 290 kg breaking strain and a 2.5 mm diameter, this green mono-filament backbone stays dependable under the highest loads, making it the clear choice for targeting large, powerful species in deep-water or high-stress environments.

Why this backbone stands out for commercial longline operations

  • Exceptional strength — 290 kg breaking strain ensures reliable performance when fighting large pelagic fish, even in demanding offshore conditions.
  • Visible, water-friendly color — vivid green helps crew quickly locate and monitor line status during setting and hauling.
  • 1.5 m stoppered spacing — pre-stoppered at fixed intervals provides higher hook density with consistently spaced placements, boosting catch potential and operational efficiency.
  • 1000 m hank, ready-to-use — shipped as a single, long length that minimizes joins and simplifies rigging for faster deployment.
  • Abrasion-resistant construction — designed to withstand sharp rocks, rough seabed, and heavy sea conditions without compromising strength.
  • Professional-grade durability — engineered for the rigors of commercial longline fisheries, delivering dependable performance across multiple trips.

How it solves common longline challenges

Setting and hauling longlines can be time-consuming and prone to spacing inconsistencies. The pre-stoppered 1.5-meter intervals ensure uniform hook placement, reducing the need for on-deck adjustments and making rigging more predictable. The 1000-meter length minimizes junctions that can wear or fail under load, while the high-visibility green color accelerates line tracking in varying sea states.

Ideal use cases and who benefits most

  • Commercial fleets targeting large pelagic species such as tuna, swordfish, marlin, or big-eye tuna in deep-water environments.
  • Operations requiring a reliable, long, heavy-duty backbone that can handle sustained heavy loads during setting and hauling.
  • Crew teams that value consistent hook spacing for efficient retrieval and reduced line tangling.

Practical deployment tips

  • Inspect the line for nicks or abrasions after each haul; replace promptly to prevent line failure under load.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve nylon flexibility and strength.
  • Coordinate with your hook density strategy by planning baiting and spacing around the 1.5 m stopper intervals for optimal coverage.
  • During deployment, monitor the green line against water conditions to quickly identify tension changes and adjust rigging as needed.
