AliExpress 'YGK-PE' PE0.8 16lb Braid

No description given.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005790299529.html

Key Statistics

  • Measured Diameter: .255mm (+173% on stated .147mm)
  • Out of Roundness: .017mm (6.6% variation in diameter)
  • Measured Breaking Strain: 25.85lbs (161.5% of rated 16bs)
  • Abrasion Breaking Strain: 6.17lbs (23.9% of max break)
  • FG Knot Breaking Strain: 17.58lbs (68% of max break)

Its actually not too bad in overall performance, and the line is very round, and also appears to have significant stretch. Abrasion resistance was quite poor though. Diameter is 173% of what is written on the box, and the Maximum Break is +61% over the quoted figure.

Diameter Variation

Here is a display of the time taken for the line to break. As can be clearly seen, the AliExpress braid took almost twice the time to fail at the same load as PowerPro, which seems to indicate the line may have some significant stretch.
