We did an informal test at last year's TFCTFN. Using "constant tension" as best the guy could and running lines over the edge of a brick, Cortland Master Braid actually outlasted Spectron for abrasion resistance. It's not a scientific test but it was interesting. Big Game did pretty well, too. Not as abrasion resistant, but also about 5/1000" thinner.

The worst for abrasion resistance were Stren Superbraid and Power Pro.

These were all 50# test lines.
