Glad to hear your going to do a wet line test that simulates the real conditions.
I wasn't messing but to prove it would require more effort on my part without getting a headache.

Hahaha...well I probably will develop a headache myself the next time I decide to follow your suggestion.

Gave you the benefit of the doubt just repeated same test... soaked the line in water for ten minutes.

Same results.

I suppose I could put on swim fins and do the test underwater next.

I think the site throwingtimber linked is the real answer...been reading it. Very interesting.

Anyway. It really goes to show...one really needs to go the extra mile and not take things for granted.

50# Samurai and powerpro should be treated as 30#.
