G'day folks
I spent a few hours today in a friends tackle shop trying to find a really good braid that is between 0.33-0.36mm thick. My buddy, the shop owner was pretty keen as well so we have been testing a few different braids he had in this diameter. We tested by placinga bimini on the end of each line and then tying that off to the scales with a uni. Most packs are labeled 50lb and all break below 12kg on the single part
The best was PE5 sunline jigger 8ply but this was rated 80lb and this held 18kg just fine but is a bit thicker then what I want.
Questions
Has anyone got a higher reading from tuffline 50lb or JB 40lb in either hollow or solid?
Does breaking at the single and not at the knot mean thats all it can take?
What makes the 50lb that cannot take more that 12kg on the single a 50lb line?
My 4500 saltiga is screaming for line and I would like to put on the strongest 350 meters or so of line as I can get on it
