knot and line strength
For what it's worth, I set up a knot/line breaking mini lab.
Power Pro consistently breaks at a little over 50% of its rated strength, Jerry Brown is in the mid 90%'s (breaks are happening in the middle of a 4' section of line being pulled between fixed point and scale, not within 6" of knots, pressure is gently increased until line breaks).
The slim beauty tested in high 90%'s, albright, double uni and surgeons all failed between 50-75%.
I like the sound of the loop in Jerry Brown. Jerry Brown has hollow core at 65#, I believe PowerPro goes to hollow core at 80#.
We switched everything over to Jerry Brown and the slim beauty with good results.
