Multifilament line is also referred to as The Super Lines[1]. This is a braided line which is made up of a type of polyethylene, an extremely thin line for its strength. By weight, polyethylene strands are five to ten times sturdier than steel. Multifilament line is almost similar to braided dacron in terms of sensitivity but a diameter about one-third that of monofilament.
Multifilament works best on conventional and baitcasting reels. On spinning and spincasting reels, the line's limpness can make sure for awkward manipulation, as it doesn't "spring" off the reel like monofilament. Consequently, knot-tying is more difficult with multifilaments. Applying a type of super glue will help to prevent it from slipping.
This type of fishing line is expensive, sometimes quadruple the cost of equivalent monofilament. This can run into a bit of an expense, especially considering that the line is so thin that you need more of it to fill a reel spool.[2]
