    Basil,

    Great stuff!! Thanks! I am about to mail you my 20000 spool. I plan on fishing 20 to a max of 25 pounds of drag.

    What is the breaking strength of the 60? I heard it was closer to 80 plus pounds. If so, then I would go with 60 and get more line. But if it was truly 60, then I would go with the 100. There doesn't seem to be an advantage for 80 in terms of capacity over the 100.

    What would you recommend?

    Mike

    Tufline is a PE5 line so you should get less than 325 yards as Basil listed PE 4.

    Thanks Basil, looks like a worthy post to be made sticky. We can even add our experiences with other braids to this and make it into an excellent database for the benefit of all 360 users

    What is the breaking strength of the 60?

    Pametfisher has tested 60lb JB hollow, white and blue, above 95lb.
