Cast x12 PE3 : 50lb Braid - Line Laboratory

Cast x12 PE3 50lb Braid

CAST premium casting braid in both X12 and X8 is more supple and has a smoother surface allowing for longer trouble free casting and maximum performance.

Extreme smoothness has been achieved through an extra process call “High Stitch” which shrinks and tightens the line during manufacturing.

We have also added a micro coating to both the X12 and X8 Casting Braids which enables casting with far less friction and also repels water from the surface of the line ensuring long lasting higher performance.

Key Statistics

Measured Diameter: .371mm (+161.5% on stated .230mm)
Out of Roundness: .18mm (48.5% variation in diameter)
Measured Breaking Strain: 51.2lbs (102.4% of rated 50bs)
Abrasion Breaking Strain: 16.8lbs (32.9% of max break)
FG Knot Breaking Strain: 36.6lbs (71.5% of max break)

Final performance across all tests was average. Line inspection shows that the line is very flat, with an average diameter of +161% of what is written on the box. Quoted breaking strain is 50lbs, and our tests achieved a break of 51.19lbs, so it is very accurately rated.
