Wallace Mariner Seine Twine in #24 size delivers the dependable holding power serious anglers and net builders need for seine repairs, hanging, and general rigging. This tarred twine comes in a 1-pound spool and features a traditional tar coating that significantly strengthens knot-holding capability—a real advantage when you're working with nets that take a beating. The black color and consistent, slightly tacky surface make it easy to handle, and the uniform coating ensures predictable performance across every wrap and splice.
Tarred twine has been the go-to choice for commercial and recreational fishermen, netting specialists, and anyone who repairs gear that needs to stay tied. The tar treatment bonds the fibers together, improving both durability and knot security compared to untreated alternatives. Because of the tar coating, expect slightly less total footage per pound than uncoated options, but what you get is proven reliability when your rig is on the line.
Whether you're patching a seine, rigging a trawl, or doing general net maintenance, this Wallace Mariner product is manufactured to consistent standards so you know what you're getting. The #24 size strikes a balance for most hand-work and small-to-medium net applications, and a full pound gives you plenty of material for repairs and projects without constant re-spooling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is tarred twine used for?
Tarred twine is primarily used for mending, repairing, and hanging nets and seine equipment. The tar coating improves knot-holding ability, making it ideal for applications where secure, long-lasting ties are essential. It's also commonly used for rigging and general fishing-gear assembly.
How much twine do I get in a 1-pound spool?
A 1-pound spool of #24 tarred twine provides approximately 700 feet of usable twine. Keep in mind that tarred twine yields about 10–12% less total footage per pound than untreated twine due to the weight of the tar coating.
Why does tarred twine have less footage than untreated twine?
The tar treatment adds weight to the fibers, so a pound of tarred twine covers less linear distance than untreated twine of the same weight. However, the improved knot strength and durability make up for the reduction in length.
What makes tarred twine better for knot holding?
The tar coating bonds the fibers together and creates a slightly tacky surface that grips better when knotted. This significantly improves the twine's ability to hold knots securely, reducing slippage and failure—critical for nets and rigging that experience regular stress.
