Pioneer Essentials’ No. 36 Tarred Twisted Nylon Bank Line is the ultimate choice for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable, multi-purpose cordage. This 1 lb. spool offers around 470 feet of heavy-duty, tar-coated nylon twine with a breaking strength of 340 lbs. Unlike other tarred lines that leave a sticky residue or uneven coating, our bank line is uniformly treated, ensuring a clean, smooth surface that’s easy to handle and knot.

Key Features:

• Length: 470 feet/100 feet

• Breaking Strength: 340 lbs

• Diameter: 0.085 inches Note: The tarred coating may emit a strong smell initially, but this fades with time.

Why Choose Bank Line Over Paracord?

Paracord is widely known for its versatility in the survival world, but tarred bank line has its own unique advantages. The tar coating makes it perfect for knot-tying, providing extra grip and stability in any situation.

Though paracord, such as our 550 model, offers a higher tensile strength of 550 lbs, the smaller diameter of bank line makes it lighter and more compact. This means it takes up less space in your gear while still offering impressive durability. For efficiency in packing or applications where precise, strong knots are critical, bank line could be your go-to choice.

Practical Uses of Bank Line:

Initially designed for trotline fishing, this cord’s strength and water resistance make it a versatile tool for many outdoor tasks:

• Create hanging loops to air-dry your clothes or gear

• Wrap handles for tools like spears or knives for extra grip

• Set up ridgelines for tarps or hammocks with ease

• Safely suspend food in bear bags out of reach from wildlife

• Craft snares or traps using its stiff, durable structure

• Use as fishing line or construct netting for catching fish

• Build support systems for plants in gardens or farms

If needed, you can even untwist the strands to create thinner cordage for smaller tasks like fishing or delicate knots.

Durability and Versatility Combined

Pioneer Essentials’ bank line is designed for those who need strength, compactness, and long-lasting durability. With its water and rot resistance, stiff texture, and excellent knot-holding capabilities, this cord is an indispensable part of any outdoor gear collection. Whether you’re hiking, camping, fishing, or surviving off the grid, you’ll find countless uses for this resilient bank line.
