The best glue for bonding over 56 different lines tested is PRO's
Soft~Bait Fishing Glue. Inclusive lines tested are all mono,
flurocarbons, nylon polymers, braids (dacrons) and dacron blends and
many other varibables. This is not a commercial but merely the truth
after using PSBglue for salt water fishing for over 5 years on mostly
monofiliments and flurocarbons in the 30 - 60 test line class lines,
never had one break off and we do a lot of trolling all day long at
times. It actually bonds with the lline your applying it too instead
of eating at it like other CA's (cyanoacrylates) do because of our
unitque' formula. If you think this is like other CA's, please don't
because, like your favorite fishing line, there are others you don't
care for right because your works best. Try to mend any Yamamoto brand
of bait or any brand you want to keep on your hook like a magnet and
our product works as designed. One drop is all it takes and it stays
flexible and will not break away from where it's bonded.

Oh, and the reason other glues keep the knot secure and weaken lines
is, they contain acid.

What type of glue or adhesive will bond monofilament fishing line?
By bond, I mean form a real chemical bond from one strand of fishing
line to another, and not simply form a hard shell around the strands
where they can still be pulled through after the adhesive cures.

I understand that most fishing line is basically nylon, and if so I
guess I'm looking for an adhesive specifically for nylon (yes?). I'm
trying to bond short pieces of fishing line across (or perpendicular
to) a longer length of line. So the glue would be applied at the node
where they cross.

Heating the strands to bond them together doesn't seem to work in a
predicatable way because the strands are too small (we're talking
about 10 to 15 lb fishing line).

Any ideas?
