Wallace Mariner Seine Twine in #18 size is a tarred, black fishing line built for the durability demands of net work, gear repair, and rigorous field use. The tar treatment gives this twine exceptional knot-holding strength—a critical feature when you're mending nets, securing rigging, or making repairs that have to hold under load. Unlike untreated alternatives, tarred twine grips better at the knot, reducing slip and failure when it matters most. This is the working angler's choice for seine repair, hanging applications, and any job where reliability can't be compromised.
Each 1lb spool delivers approximately 1,000 feet of uniform, slightly tacky twine that feels substantial in your hands. The consistent coating means you get predictable performance across the entire length—no weak spots or thin sections. The black color blends naturally in water and resists UV degradation, extending the life of your finished work. Whether you're patching a commercial net, rigging a trotline, or securing deck gear on a boat, this twine handles the job without fuss.
Anglers and commercial fishermen rely on tarred twine because it works. The tar doesn't just improve grip; it also provides some water resistance that plain twine lacks. It's tacky enough to stay put when you're tying but not so sticky that it's a hassle to work with. If you're serious about net maintenance or field repairs, keep a spool of Wallace Mariner Seine Twine on hand—it's the standard for good reason.
