MrGenius Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey fellas, Does anyone have a link to, or a listing of the different diameters of braided lines and their respective breaking strains. e.g Fireline 14lb = .23mm Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I don't think one exists. Remember many of the braided lines are not exactly round eg Fireline (some are like a ribbon eg Climax) so diameters stated on the container may be different to those you measure. As for breaking strain, in a steady pull braid usually breaks way above figures stated on the packet. The knots you tie will determine the actual braid strength. See thread below for links to actual tests. http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/inde...showtopic=20047 Cheers, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGenius Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thanks for the reply Jeff If members could copy and paste the below with the answers to make up a reference table that would be great. Id like to know the diameters of each weight line in a particular brand eg. Fireline as it is stated on the packaging FIRELINE 6lb = ? diameter 8lb = ? diameter 10lb = ? diameter 12lb = ? diameter 14lb = .23mm and so on, that way i and others can use this for reference to purchase spools of line to suit specific reels that i have and know how much i can spin on without the need to go to the store and look at it.
