ABSTRACT:
A unique fishing rope comprising floating and sinking portions. The sinking portion blended yarns made up of a blend of first and second non-metallic synthetic filaments in proportions to yield a sinking rope portion having a specific gravity greater than one. The sinking rope portion comprises strands having yarns of substantially the same diameter. The floating portion of the rope is formed by replacing selected ones of the blended yarns in each strand with yarns formed of a material having a specific gravity of less than one. The replacement yarns and the blended yarns are of the same diameter to enhance the integrity and strength of the rope. The yarns omitted from the sinking section and replaced with the yarns having a specific gravity less than one are terminated at staggered intervals and their replacement yarns are inserted at like staggered intervals forming a merged region between the sinking and floating portions having a tensile strength which is equivalent to the tensile strength of the sinking and floating portions. The rope material sensitive to ultraviolet radiation is surrounded and thus protected by the material resistant to ultraviolet radiation. The ultraviolet sensitive material may also be treated with a stabilizer material which enhances resistance to ultraviolet radiation.
