Hey Guys

Sorry it took a while to get back to you regarding my line tests. I’ve been working the 3:16 table at the Anglers show over the weekend.

All tests were done with new line. 50% of the testing resulted in the knot breaking. The knot was an improved clinch. Weather the knot broke or the line, the numbers were very close. I believe the reason Seguar is preferred over Berkley is; for the same # line Seguar has a larger diameter resulting in higher strength. It was asked if I tested Sugoi. When I did the tests I do not believe Sugoi was on the market, however as a curtisy to the readers of this board I was able to test 14# Sugoi (.0127 diameter) at the show today. Izorline allowed me to use their machine. 14# Sugoi tested at an even 13# for one test. Their machine is set up so a knot is not needed.

With respect for all participants on this board and at the rish of being in the minority, I disagree FC line is any more nick resistant than most mono’s, but I am curious and will do some abrasion testing. Also FC line has too much memory and does not cast well. I have not experienced increased sensitivity but do agree the line has less stretch.
