Fishing line manufacturers are increasingly using PE, an acronym for polyethylene, on their products and packaging. However, it's often used for various reasons. The most common use of "PE" is to measure the diameter of polyethylene fishing lines.Nov 9, 2016
What does PE line stand for?
Polyethylene The “PE” stands for Polyethylene, the fibre used to make Dynema and Spectra braided lines. The PE rating is a constant measurement, so while two lines advertised as being rated to 50lb may actually test at different breaking strains, two lines with the same PE rating will always be the same diameter.

How is fishing line measured?
Fishing line strength is call 'test' and is measured in pounds (lbs.). Each spool of line has a label identifying what pound test line it is, which is usually similar to something like 8-lb. test. Pound test is a measurement of how much (in pounds) stress can be put on fishing line before it breaks.
What is PE line size?
When a PE rating is applied to fishing line it's simply as a measure of the lines diameter – not the lines breaking strain. In fact, a line rated PE 5, for example, may break at 30lb, 50lb, 90lb or anywhere in between.
