PrepCord 550 Fishing Line Paracord Overview

There doesn't seem like much you can do to improve on the basic 550 paracord. The new 550 PrepCord® begs to differ! Running the entire length of the core, is a strand of 8 lb test mono fishing line, along side the regular 7 inner strands. In addition to the uses of regular paracord, with a 100' strand of fishing line, the uses of PrepCord are almost infinite!

Fishing Line Uses:

Fishing. Attach it to a pole or stick, or use it as a set line.
Sewing. Great for sewing tears in clothing or gear.
Perimeter. Set up perimter around your camp to worn of intruders or animals.
Shelter. Use the line with a tarp to create a temporary shelter.
Repairs. Use it to fix a broken strap or zipper on your pack. More durable than thread.
Hundreds of other uses!
100 feet of Blackout Nylon Paracord- contains 7 black interior strands and one strand of 8 lb test fishing line. Ideal for a multitude of uses. Made in the U.S.A. by a certified government contractor.

Great work BHQ! Haven't seen this done with paracord yet. Great concept. To give people a better idea how to use this... in a survival situation, you can use the inner cords for a 'bank line', with the monofilament fish line attached to the end to serve as a clear leader to the hook. That way you only need a shorter piece of mono.

Very cool, but could the fishline snap inside if the cord was stretched under tension?

You dont have described here or on your site how much the 550 cord is weighted to hold. Is it mil-spec? How much weight can it hold?
