Who invented the fishing line?
970740
Early fishing lines were often constructed from horse hair or silk thread, with catgut leaders. From the 1850s, modern industrial machinery was employed to fashion fishing lines in quantity. Most of these lines were made from linen, silk, and more rarely cotton or flax, sometimes with a waterproofing compound added during manufacture. Lines were either of braided or twisted construction, and early anglers often employed leaders of silkgut between the line and lure or bait in order to disguise the large diameter of their main fishing line. Modern fishing lines intended for spinning, spin cast, or bait casting reels are almost entirely made from artificial substances, including nylon, polyethylene, Dacron and Dyneema (UHMWPE). The most common type is monofilament, made of a single strand. Recently, other alternatives to standard nylon monofilament lines have been introduced made of copolymers or fluorocarbon, or a combination of the two materials. Flurocarbon in particular is well regarded for its refractive index, which is similar to that of water and as a result less visible to fish. There are also braided, cofilament and thermally fused lines, also known as 'superlines' for their small diameter, lack of stretch, and great strength relative to standard nylon monofilament lines. Both braided and thermally fused 'superlines' are now readily available.

Go to Bass Pro Shops addy, or Cabelas. They may have a pictorial on how to make these knots. \n\nThe Palomar knot is super important in fishing,(if there was 1 knot you MUST know how to tie it would be The Palomar & "Blood Knot".)

History of Television Time line\nTelevision was not invented by a single inventor, instead many people working together and alone, contributed to the evolution of TV. \n1831: Joseph Henry's and Michael Faraday's work with electromagnetism makes possible the era of electronic communication to begin.\n1862: Abbe Giovanna Caselli invents his "pantelegraph" and becomes the first person to transmit a still image over wires.\n1873: Scientists May and Smith experiment with selenium and light, this opens the door for inventors to transform images into electronic signals.\n1876: Boston civil servant George Carey was thinking about complete television systems and in 1877 he put forward drawings for what he called a "selenium camera" that would allow people to "see by electricity." Eugen Goldstein coins the term "cathode rays" to describe the light emitted when an electric current was forced through a vacuum tube.\nLate 1870's: Scientists and engineers like Paiva, Figuier, and Senlecq were suggesting alternative designs for "telectroscopes."\n1880: Inventors like Bell and Edison theorize about telephone devices that transmit image as well as sound. Bell's photophone used light to transmit sound and he wanted to advance his device for image sending. George Carey builds a rudimentary system with light-sensitive cells. \n1881: Sheldon Bidwell experiments with telephotography, another photophone.\n1884: Paul Nipkow sends images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology calling it the "electric telescope" with 18 lines of resolution. \n1900:  At the World's Fair in Paris, the 1st International Congress of Electricity was held, where Russian, Constantin Perskyi made the first known use of the word "television."\nSoon after, the momentum shifted from ideas and discussions to physical development of TV systems. Two paths were followed:\n1.Mechanical television - based on Nipkow's rotating disks, and\n2.Electronic television - based on the cathode ray tube work done independently in 1907 by English inventor A.A. Campbell-Swinton and Russian scientist Boris Rosing. \n1906: Lee de Forest invents the "Audion" vacuum tube that proved essential to electronics. The Audion was the first tube with the ablity to amplify signals. Boris Rosing combines Nipkow's disk and a cathode ray tube and builds the first working mechanical TV system.\n1907: Campbell Swinton and Boris Rosing suggest using cathode ray tubes to transmit images - independent of each other, they both develop electronic scanning methods of reproducing images.\nAmerican Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the mechanical model while Philo Farnsworth, working independently in San Francisco, and Russian émigré Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later RCA, advanced the electronic model.\n1923: Vladimir Zworykin patents his iconscope a TV camera tube based on Campbell Swinton's ideas. The iconscope, which he called an "electric eye" becomes the cornerstone for further television development. He later develops the kinescope for picture display.\n1924 - 1925: American Charles Jenkins and John Baird from Scotland, each demonstrate the mechanical transmissions of images over wire circuits. Photo Left: Jenkin's Radiovisor Model 100 circa 1931, sold as a kit. Baird becomes the first person to transmit moving silhouette images using a mechanical system based on Nipkow's disk. Vladimir Zworykin patents a color television system.\n1926: John Baird operates a 30 lines of resolution system at 5 frames per second.\n1927: Bell Telephone and the U.S. Department of Commerce conduct the first long distance use of TV, between Washington D.C. and New York City on April 9th. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover commented, “Today we have, in a sense, the transmission of sight for the first time in the world’s history. Human genius has now destroyed th

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices which greatly influenced life in the 20th century. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and can therefore be credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. Some of the inventions credited to him were not completely original, but alterations of earlier patents (most famously the light bulb), or were actually the work of his numerous employees. Nevertheless, Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

Dr. Jeorge valvus in the year 1872, when they had to construct an irrigation system for a sugar can plantation and in the process this man invented the valve.\n\ngood luck.

there are fish finders for shore fisherman, there's a watch model and stand model, there is a piece a connect to your line and you can find out if your wasting your time in that spot

I found a report regarding fishing in St. John's, Newfoundland.  I hope it helps.

Pull the old line off...buy some Stren clear in 10 lb. if bass fishing 6 lb. if trout fishing....open the bail and tie 3 overhand knots tightly to secure the line to the spool....close the bail and reel the line in under tension. Having a friend hold the line with a screwdriver helps or most fishing line that comes in a box has a window to pull the line out of..Tight Lines!!

Robert Esnault-Pelterie would be most likely inventor if you wish to agree with the majority of researchers.\nFeel free to visit the source for information over the two mentioned inventors.
