Jerry Brown x16 Hollow : 100lb Braid
Overview
- Â Made in USA with genuine ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with finer braid resulting in a smoother hand-feel and enhanced abrasion resistance.
- Jerry Brown Line One Braid is a Gel Spun braided line that performs in all saltwater or freshwater conditions.
- Colorfast with a life expectancy greater than 10 years (unless mechanically damaged).
- Resistant to UV light, chlorine, fuels, detergents, most acids or bases, or biologic growth.
- Line diameters are about 1/3 that of monofilament which means more line per reel.
- Jerry Brown Line One braid is smooth, supple and easy to tie or splice, making it a favorite among long range anglers.
- The hollow, spliceable construction allows knotless connection of monofilament or fluorocarbon  to the braid and knotless connections of braid to braid.
- Line to line splice repairs are 100% strong.

- Measured Maximum Break: 123.56 lbs (123.56% of claimed 100lbs)
- Measured Stretch @ Break: 4.36 %
- Abrasion Maximum Break: 58.51 lbs (47.35% of max break)
- FG Knot Maximum Break: 86.91 lbs (70.34% of max break)
It’s a little hard to gauge where this line sits in relation to diameter, tensile strength and knot strength. Diameter is hard to measure as its hollow, which flows through to making the Tensile calculation distorted. Similarly, hollow lines are generally joined to the leader with a very lengthy splice which is something we are not currently setup to test. Construction looked very nice, and Abrasion Resistance was exceptional.
