Why Tarred Bank Lines Are Perfect for Underwater Taut and Decoy Lines

Tarred bank lines are a staple in survival and outdoor applications, particularly when dealing with underwater environments or when taut, reliable lines are required. Their unique construction, typically made from tightly twisted nylon strands, offers a robust solution for tasks that require strength, water resistance, and longevity.

When underwater, especially in brackish or saltwater conditions, ordinary twine or rope tends to rot, fray, or become susceptible to marine growth. However, tarred bank lines are coated with a weather-resistant tar that shields them from such threats, making them an ideal choice for underwater taut lines and decoy setups. This protective coating not only resists water but also defends the line from UV degradation, friction, and the elements over time.

Moreover, these lines offer superior knot-tying capabilities, making them perfect for setting up nets or creating decoy rigs. Their strong knot retention ensures that once they are in place, you can rely on them to stay secure, even under high tension or in adverse conditions. When used in decoy lines, their buoyancy and resistance to wear allow them to keep your setups operational through multiple uses without frequent replacements. This makes tarred bank lines a go-to for hunters and fishers who need a durable, underwater solution.
