Ing4 - Your breaking strength is being lowered because you arent lubricating your knots. Cinch them wet and re-run you "last time tests." Hot knots are going to fail easier, sometimes you want them to fail bottom fishing for example i dont lubricate my loop knot for my sinker, i want that to fail. Dropper loops off that same rig, hell yeah i wet em, i dont want those to fail. The sinker knot breaking easily saves trouble 😉

I am tying knots religiously accurately. I am moisturizing them plenty pull slow and watching how knot tying accurately. No overlaps or kinks. Test where repeated multiple times and results averaged. Spring scale is calibrated. I think that FC really weaker then stated. Especially numbers over #20. Just not too much people making tests. For them it is enough that big fish was landed. So, the line is OK. If not - there are a lot of excuses: knots, brakes etc...
I would like to remind kindly: initial question was about pink FC.
Very interesting discussion about that matter:
