Summary

- Measured Ave Diameter: 0.505mm
- Out of Roundness: 0.112mm (22.17% variation in diameter)
- Measured Maximum Break: 80.2 lbs (80.2% of claimed 100 lbs)
- Measured Stretch @ Break: 3.1% Abrasion
- Maximum Break: 26.69 lbs (33.28% of max break)
- FG Knot Maximum Break: 58.88 lbs (73.42% of max break)

As expected, a nice line from YGK however the final results were a little lower than expected. Maximum strength was quite a bit under the rated strength, and diameter was 24% over the quoted diameter. Construction and feel was typical high YGK quality.
