How is fishing string so strong yet so thin?

String you’re used to is probably made of little fibres not intended to be spun into string, but we do it anyway.

Fishing line is specially made plastic that is designed to be strong and thin.

Its not that fishing line is particularly strong, its that the string we use for most tasks is actually quite weak.
