Summary
-
- Measured Ave Diameter: .224mm (112% of claimed 0.20mm)
- Out of Roundness: .014mm (6.25% variation in diameter)
- Measured Breaking Strain: 22.77 lbs (115% of claimed 19.8lbs)
- Abrasion Breaking Strain: 11.73 lbs (51.52% of max break)
- FG Knot Breaking Strain: 20.73 lbs (91.04% of max break)
Tensile Strength was very good, but both the Abrasion Resistance and FG Knot strength were fantastic. Line roundness was also exceptional with a value of only 6.25%. Overall performance was amazing, and we have arguably never tested a line with a better value-to-performance ratio.
We have heard concerns of how fused lines such as this one hold up over time, with reports of it fraying and not maintaining its shape after extended use. This is hard to bench test so time will tell if it is the case with this line also.
