Chief- I agree there can be too many variables, just like there can be too many variables when fishing. so here's what I plan to do.

1. I can wet the brick and wet the line.
2. I need to apply the "law of avererages" to the test, so I plan to test each line 3x and see, on average, when it breaks.

Here's my thoughts on this. When a fish takes you into the rocks, it's probably an "area" of the line that's being rubbed off and weakened, not necessarily, a single point-although it could be. So I need to experiment some more. Again, I didn't want to test this on a sharp pont, because that would only tell me how line CUTS and not how ABRRASION RESISTANT it is.

Thanks and any suggestions are welcome

Stay tune, more to come this week when others give me a bunch of lines to test.
