if you are looking strictly for abrasion resistance, you should do a search for an article from sportfishing magazine from a few years ago. they did two separate tests, one with 8 lb line and a later article with 20 lb line. they tested tensile line strength, abrasion resistance, variance, and cost. for abrasion resistance one really surprised them:
original stren. i hate the stuff, but admittedly havent used it in years. here's what they said:
Specifically, for its diameter Mason Tiger Braid was our top line for toughness, with Western Filament's aptly named Tuf-Line a close second, based on mean cycles to break as a function of diameter. However, ranked third among all 85 lines was our top monofilament Stren Original (proving you can't always improve on a good thing) which far outlasted any challenger, falling just five cycles short of a phenomenal 1,300-cycle average to break. (Its thicker diameter accounts for an abrasion-strength rating slightly below the two braids.) Interestingly, Stren Original also scored very high in our 1998 abrasion test of 8-pound lines, finishing second.
i think i saved those articles somewhere...
