The Woodstock Line® Company was started in 1946 by two brothers, Sam and Abe Rodensky. They prided themselves with, and became proficient at, producing high quality braided nylon and dacron fishing line. In the 1960's, monofilament was introduced into their product line as the preferred line used for spin casting. In later years, lead core trolling line was also added. This was followed by Power Strike™, the newest generation of modern day fishing line made from 100% Spectra™ and impregnated with a special blend of resins.

Woodstock Line continues to grow. Their 1,400 braiding machines run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and their products are sold throughout the US, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and in the Pacific Rim.
