Premium Fishing Line is a small spool of strong, high grade line for fishing rods. It also serves as heavy thread for sewing and armour work.
Anglers use it to string a homemade rod or to fix a rod that has lost its line. Tailors and smiths use it as heavy thread to stitch leather, hide and metal armour together. It counts as survival gear and weighs almost nothing.
The spool is found in fishing stores, outdoor supply stores, closets and sheds. The Fishing Guide is the best occupation for fishing and trapping. It starts with the most Fishing skill. For Trapping, the Park Ranger starts strongest.
Using
For fishing, the line goes into Make Fishing Rod for a Makeshift Fishing Rod. It also goes into Fix Fishing Rod to restring a Fishing Rod.
As heavy thread, it serves a long list of sewing and armour recipes. These include sacks, satchels, mattresses, pillows, footwraps, handwraps and long johns. At a forge, it binds plates into metal shin, thigh, forearm and shoulder armour, metal masks, helmets and body armour. Welders use it for scrap metal armour pieces too.
Compared with the plain Fishing Line, the premium spool is lighter but gives fewer uses. The plain spool gives about ten uses against about four for the premium one. For heavy sewing jobs, the plain line goes further per spool.
Upkeep
A full spool gives about four uses before it runs out. Partly used spools can be merged into one through the inventory.
Used in Crafting
These recipes accept the Premium Fishing Line by its type rather than by name.

Locations
Fishing storage rooms and outdoor supply stores hold one about one time in eight, on counters and shelves. Closets and sheds turn one up fairly often. Garage storage crates hold a few. Zombies dressed as fishermen carry one now and then, and tackle boxes sometimes hold a spool. Hunting lodges, tool stores and camping stores stock them only rarely.

Notes
- The line doubles as heavy thread for leather, hide and armour work.
- Partly used spools can be merged to save space.
- It restrings a Fishing Rod that has lost its line.
- Tackle boxes are worth checking for a spare spool.
