Summary

- Measured Ave Diameter: 0.209mm (109.42% of claimed)
- Out of Roundness: 0.031mm (14.83% variation in diameter)
- Measured Maximum Break: 21.68 lbs (86.72% of claimed 25 lbs)
- Measured Stretch @ Break: 2.14%
- Abrasion Maximum Break: 9.44 lbs (43.54% of max break)
- FG Knot Maximum Break: 18.85 lbs (86.95% of max break)

A sensational overall performance from this line by Varivas, however it did seem to have a very wide braid angle which seemed to cause diameter inconsistencies. Diameter was extremely close to claimed and maximum break about 14% under. PE rating was extremely accurate. The MEI value was exceptional.
