Fishing line instead of chain in a toilet?

I have a Toto toilet. About 5% of flushes the chain gets caught up on the overflow tube and prevents the valve from closing; so it just runs until someone notices.
Could I replace the chain with fishing line? It can't get caught up like the chain.

Seems simple enough to me, but maybe there is a compelling reason they use chain.
