Owner Broad PE Kizuna : PE 1.5 Braid
Owner Broad PE Kizuna X8 – Super breaking strength & flexibility intentional superb stretch
ALB Construction – Anti Loosening Braided Construction. ALB construction is a unique and special braiding construction to provide best strength and flexibility at same time like no other! Several pieces of line are twisted to same direction to be consisting of one line just like rope.
Normally, all of those pieces of lines are twisted to same direction of rotation. But ALB construction is creating mixing direction of rotations depends on the position of line to be tighter braided. And it doesn’t get loosen anyhow. ALB construction is made as short-pitch braid, but intentional superb stretch creation which give you more super breaking strength and best flexibility on braided line.
Features:
- Izanas Fibre
- ALB Construction
- Made in Japan
- 8 carrier braid
Summary
- Measured Diameter: .260mm (153% of stated .170mm)
- Out of Roundness: .069mm (26.5% variation in diameter)
- Measured Breaking Strain: 29.65 lbs (148.25% of rated 20lbs)
- Abrasion Breaking Strain: 11.41 lbs (38.48% of max break)
- FG Knot Breaking Strain: 20.98 lbs (70.76% of max break)
A well made and great performing braid with better than average results in the Tensile and Abrasion tests. Its FG Knot strength was lower than average. As the measurments and the diameter chart showed, it has a very ‘square’ profile with a high level of diameter variation.
