Fishing line has come a long way since the early days when lines were made from linen, silk, cotton, and even horsehair. And every angler and fishing enthusiast knows you can have the best rod and reel, the best fishing lures on the market, and fish in the most productive waters, but it can all come to nothing if you're not using the right fishing line. When it comes to "the one that got away" (including your favorite fishing lure), it pays to have the right fishing line. And Silver Thread continues to be known as the finest, most technologically advanced fishing line available.
The Silver Thread brand of fishing line began in the early to mid-1980s when owner and founder of Bagley Bait Company, Jim Bagley sought to bring a premium copolymer fishing line to the market. With the help of leading engineers and chemists at a premiere manufacturer of monofilament lines in Japan, Bagley introduced Silver Thread AN40, the most unique, high quality copolymer fishing line on the market at that time.
Copolymer fishing lines set the standard for abrasion resistance, small diameter, great knot strength and superior casting that common monofilaments just can't measure up to. What makes copolymer fishing line special? The copolymerization process. Combining several nylon monomers creates a stronger, more stable fishing line with a smaller diameter. Over the years, several new formulas have been introduced, including fluorocarbon, saltwater and trout formulas.
Our technology and the drive to produce the best possible products set us apart from the competition. Silver Thread continually endeavors to push the envelope with innovation because we want you to enjoy every fishing experience. And when you make Silver Thread your fishing line of choice, we help make that happen.
