P-Line CXX-XTRA Moss Green 1/4lb 10lb Fishing Spool
Lower concern, standard monofilament fishing line has no known PFAS requirement, but P-Line does not disclose line composition.
P-Line CXX-XTRA is a monofilament fishing line with no visible PFAS-related coating or treatment typical of the category. Standard nylon monofilament carries lower PFAS risk than water-repellent coating-treated apparel or nonstick cookware.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
P-Line CXX-XTRA is monofilament nylon, a single-strand polymer extruded to create a continuous filament. Nylon in fishing line does not require Teflon-type coating (a PFAS risk in cookware) and is not subject to the lead/cadmium concerns of ceramic glazes. The material's primary exposure route is aquatic leaching and ingestion risk to wildlife, not consumer toxicity from handling or use.
The brand's record and disclosure
P-Line does not publicly disclose line composition, PFAS content, or third-party certifications. No major safety recalls, toxicity alerts, or regulatory actions are documented for this product or brand. The company remains silent on environmental or chemical transparency, which limits independent verification of material sourcing and additives.
How it compares in its category
Monofilament nylon is the industry standard for fishing line; P-Line CXX-XTRA sits in the mid-tier performance/affordability range. Braided and fluorocarbon alternatives exist but carry similar or greater environmental persistence concerns. No established evidence suggests P-Line monofilament is safer or riskier than competitors in the same category.
If you buy it
Store in cool, dry conditions away from UV light, which degrades nylon over time and can increase microfiber shedding. Replace line annually or when discolored, weakened, or visibly frayed to avoid breakage and environmental loss. Do not burn or incinerate spent line; dispose in regular waste or recycling programs. Wash hands after extended handling, though toxicity risk from contact is minimal.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Nylon microfiber shedding and environmental persistence
Monofilament nylon degrades slowly in aquatic environments, releasing microfibers that persist for years. While not an acute consumer health hazard, breakage and spillage contribute to microplastic pollution; wildlife ingestion is the primary concern.
UV degradation and leachate compounds
Nylon exposed to sunlight breaks down and may release oligomers or unreacted monomers into water. P-Line does not disclose additives (stabilizers, dyes) that could leach; no specific testing for this product line is publicly available.
Heavy metals in colorant (Moss Green dye)
Nylon fishing line colorants are typically organic or inorganic mineral pigments. No regulatory warnings or recalls for heavy metal contamination in P-Line fishing line have been documented, and direct consumer skin contact is minimal.
Polymer additives (plasticizers, antioxidants)
Manufacturing nylon requires heat stabilizers and processing aids whose identity P-Line does not disclose. Standard monofilament additives are not classified as hazardous, but transparency is absent.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
