1 lb. Roll | Approx. 1,100 ft | 106 lb Tensile Strength | ~.045" Diameter

Built for the fine work. Our No.12 Tarred Bank Line is a compact, high-strength cord designed for the detailed, precision tasks that matter in survival situations. With over 1,000 feet of tarred nylon twine on a single spool, it’s ideal for everything from trap building to stitching gear and rigging fishing lines—without the bulk of heavier cordage.

Treated with a deep, uniform tar coating, this line resists rot, holds knots like glue, and remains dry and easy to work with—even in cold, wet, or muddy conditions.

What Makes No.12 Bank Line Essential?

• ✅ Slim Profile, Big Performance: At only ~.045" diameter, it’s small enough for fine work but still packs a 106 lb tensile strength

• ✅ No Slipping, No Fraying: Tarred surface grips tight and lasts through friction-heavy use

• ✅ Field-Ready Finish: No sticky mess—just a dry, tacky line that’s ready to tie and go

• ✅ Ultra-Compact Spool: Over a thousand feet in a palm-sized roll—perfect for minimalist packs or gear pouches
