......in the bottom of one of my fishing bags.

Any idea what it's best used for?

I'm assuming it's a hooklink material but unsure of it's properties.

Its used for tying bean plants to wooden rods or it should be :D its an old and not very good hooklength from yesteryear when soft hooklengths were thought to be the bees knees for carp.

Dacron is/was used as a hooklink material, mainly by carpers. It's well out of fashion these days, but it's still perfectly useable. Its greatest attribute was its suppleness.

Your is in old packaging, but it's still, surprisingly, a current product.

Soft, supple, sinks like a brick... so good they've stopped selling it, along with those centre-line leger-stops and the Team England Barbless hooks to nylon.
I don't understand Drennan; they get something spot-on, then discontinue it.
