This is single-strand monofilament netting, made from the same kind of line used in rod-and-reel fishing. It is typically used for gill nets and trammel nets in commercial fishing. Mud and debris rinse off easily, and catches pull out cleanly.
The monofilament is more abrasion resistant than regular nylon multifilament netting. It is also lighter, because it absorbs less water.
Each knot is a double knot to keep it from slipping. A double selvage at the top and bottom holds securely to a top rope with floats or a float line, and to a bottom rope with lead or lead core rope. The netting is depthway stretched and comes in 200-yard bundles, which makes it easier to calculate the length when hanging a net.
