There are many types of fishing line such as monofiliment, braid, flurocarbon, etc... Also, each of these lines comes in many different strength (called pounds test) from 1 lb to 100 lbs. In general they will all be stronger that cotton twine.

∙ 9y agoCotton twine is much stronger due to the material used. A 0.06 millimeter line of cotton twine can in best cases be as strong as 0.20 normal fishing line. The bad thing about them in this case is of course that if you just simply can't get a lure out of the bottom, you will have to cut the line since you can't break it simply by pulling.

How strong is twine?
Twine is two or more strands or string, typically yarn, twisted together to compose a stronger strand of material. Normally, when you pull on a single string, the force is put entirely on that one string. If you have two separate strings, you're faced with the same problem. By twisting the two pieces of string together, the force extracted when pulled together is divided between the two pieces, and because they're no longer perfectly straight pieces of material, it is more difficult to break or rip.
