More to come in a few days.

The Test:

I layed a brick on a relatively flat surface, cut a short piece of mono/braid and rubbed (scraped it along the outer edge of a rough/course brick. I didn't use the sharp edge because I wanted to test the ABRASION resistance not the CUTTING resistance. Here the results of how many scrapes I made in the same general area before the line broke.

Is anyone suprised ?

Braid:

50lb Berkely gorilla tough (7X)
50 lb Stren Braid (3X)

Mono:

Ande 20lb premium (9X)
Ande 20lb Backcountry (20X)
Berkley 40Lb Trilene Big Game (47X)
Stren 14LB Magnaflex (2X)
Stren 20lb fluorocarbon (7X)
