Summary

- Measured Ave Diameter: .202mm (202% of claimed 0.100mm) Out of
- Roundness: .047mm (23.26% variation in diameter)
- Measured Maximum Break: 21.21 lbs (141.38% of claimed 15lbs)
- Abrasion Break: 7.75 lbs (36.54% of max break)
- FG Knot Break: 16.49 lbs (77.75% of max break)

Overall a great result from a line that doesnt break the bank and from a brand we had not heard of until this test. Exceptional results in the tensile test, not quite as good in both the Abrasion and FG tests. This line is quoted as being PE0.4 but with a break in excess of 21lbs, and a diameter of .202mm, in reality it is probably closer to a PE 1.5.
