very very interesting...

so I look at this site and if what it is saying is true.... the guy has a
special way of testing line and shows this below method to be
incorrect for testing braid strength.


he writes:

Do not use these for testing braid, they do NOT work. Results are 30% low.

ding ding ding....I think this is a winner. Every thing he says not to do
to line prior to testing is what and angler does to line.

Even the above illustration suggests a possible 30% loss in strength.
how is it different from a line coiled around the spool and the other
end tied to terminal tackle.....It is the same.

30% would account for my numbers to be accurate.

Wow....blows my mind.

Thanks....at least I don't feel robbed anymore....just ignorant.
