29.9 on the first pull, 30.1 on the 2nd. Probably need to pull at least once more to be properly scientific, but I think you could safely say 10# 832 tests at 30#'s...

pete while your testing place do the daiwa samuria 40 and 55.

can you test the ta clips and the breakaway clips on there?

see if theyll hold true to suggested weights?

Samurai is usually considered to hold true. Sure enough, I did a couple pulls on 55# last night and it popped at approximately 54 and 55. Very rare in the world of braid where everything is underrated.

Didn't see this post until this morning, so we didn't get to test any clips.

Hopefully we can get the machine back next year, there was a lot of eye opening data last night.

the samauri is soo slick I'll never try another uni/clinch. knots were untying before the line broke....time to just use the palomar

here's pics of the backlash clips...I did this by hand

Apparently there was some clip testing before I got there.

Those were "tested" at my house, I hooked a needle to both ends and pulled....the 50lb clips give reeeeeeally easy.

I would feel confident the big clips will never straighten out on a bass, up in the air about the mediums, and the smalls I'd never use for anything other than FW bass or schoolies.

Personally, I only use Breakaway Spin clips and I've never had one fail

Cool, just what I had heard through the grapevine.

Thanks!
