The Clear fishing line, a 20LB test monofilament sold as .47mm clear line, costs just $6.99 and carries a 4.8 star average across 29 reviews, the highest rating of any mono line in this comparison. With over 1,000 units bought last month, it is also the clear demand leader here, despite its crafts-and-jewelry branding.
Check price on AmazonBest for
Anglers and crafters alike who want an inexpensive 20LB clear monofilament, whether for light-to-medium tackle rigging, or for jewelry, beading, and decoration projects where a strong, near-invisible line is useful.
Skip if
Skip it if you specifically need a dedicated fishing-branded spool with detailed technique labeling, or if you want a heavier test line, since 20LB sits well under the 40 to 80 pound options in this lineup.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
Picture needing a spool of strong, clear line for more than one job, maybe rigging a light rod one weekend and stringing beads or securing a craft project the next. This Clear-brand fishing line is pitched at exactly that crossover, listed for decorations, crafts, and jewelry as much as for tackle, at $6.99 for a spool of 20LB test nylon monofilament measuring .47mm.
Next to the dedicated mono lines in this comparison, the pricing lands in the middle. The Sea SS44-80 costs $13.99 for 80 pound test, the ANDE pcw-50 runs $12.99, and the Maxima MOSS30 tops the group at $26.23, all three built and marketed strictly as fishing line. This listing is the only one that splits its purpose between crafts and angling, which is worth knowing if a dedicated fishing spool with full technique documentation matters to the buyer.
Where this line stands out is demand and rating. At 4.8 stars across 29 reviews and over 1,000 units bought last month, it beats every other mono line here on both fronts, even the ones with hundreds of reviews. For casual use across fishing and craft projects at a low price, that pattern is hard to argue with.
Pros
- 4.8 star average, the highest rating among the mono lines in this comparison
- Over 1,000 units bought last month, the strongest demand signal of any line in this lineup
- 20LB test nylon monofilament at .47mm, strong enough for light-to-medium tackle or craft use
- Priced at $6.99, cheaper than the ANDE pcw-50, Sea SS44-80, and Maxima MOSS30
- Clear color works for both low-visibility fishing rigs and see-through jewelry or craft work
- Sold as a single count spool, in stock and ready to ship
Cons
- Only 29 reviews, far fewer than the 492 to 988 reviews the dedicated fishing lines in this comparison carry
- 20LB test is on the lighter end, well under the 40 to 80 pound test of the other three lines
- Marketed partly as a crafts and jewelry product, so labeling and technique details lean less fishing-specific
- No stated spool length in the facts, unlike competitors listed by yards or feet

Performance notes
A 20LB test nylon monofilament at .47mm diameter sits in a middle ground, thicker and stronger than ultralight lines but well short of the 40 to 80 pound classes built for big fish or heavy cover. Clear line at this strength is versatile, it can handle a general-purpose spinning setup for moderate-sized fish, and the same properties that make it useful on a rod, a strong nylon strand with some stretch and enough clarity to stay unobtrusive, are also what make it workable for stringing jewelry or securing craft projects. Since the listing markets to both audiences, the manufacturing is standard nylon mono rather than a specialty coated line built for one narrow purpose. Anglers looking for a dedicated technique line, such as a stiff wire leader material or a heavily coated abrasion-resistant mono, should look at a line built and labeled specifically for that job instead.
What buyers say
The pairing of a 4.8 star average and over 1,000 units bought last month is the strongest demand and satisfaction combination in this comparison. Only 29 reviews back that rating, a much smaller sample than the 492 to 988 reviews the three dedicated fishing lines carry, so the 4.8 figure has less statistical weight behind it even though it sits above every competitor's average. High recent purchase volume alongside a small review count often points to a listing that is moving fast right now, possibly boosted by crossover appeal to non-fishing buyers such as crafters and jewelry makers, rather than a long-established fishing product with years of accumulated reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Is this line strong enough for serious fishing, or is it really just a craft product?
It is genuine 20LB test nylon monofilament, which is plenty strong for light-to-medium freshwater fishing. It is marketed to crafters and jewelry makers as well, so the packaging and labeling are less fishing-specific than a dedicated brand like Maxima or ANDE, but the material itself works on a rod and reel.
How does the 4.8 star rating compare to other mono lines in this lineup?
At 4.8 stars it is the highest average of the four mono lines compared here, ahead of the Maxima MOSS30 and Sea SS44-80 at 4.7 and 4.5, and the ANDE pcw-50 at 4.7. The catch is its review count of 29 is far smaller than the hundreds those other lines have collected.
What can this 20LB clear line be used for besides fishing?
The listing itself markets it for decorations, crafts, and jewelry making, since a strong, near-invisible nylon strand works well for stringing beads, hanging ornaments, or securing craft pieces. It also functions as a standard 20LB fishing line for light-to-medium tackle setups when needed.
