JLH,

Awesome. If you post the line diameters, I can do a comparison. (line diameter x 1000)/Mean Wet Break Strength in lbs=strength in Lbs per 0.001" of diameter.

So a line that is 0.001" total diameter and tests at 1 pound would be equal to a line that is 0.010" and tests at 10 pounds, per my equation.

Nice to see that the lines that came out on top in my tests also came out on top in these tests.
Select lines rer the Sportfishing results 20 pound test:

P-Line X-Tra Strong -----------------------34.7
Stren Extra Strength ----------------------32.9
Trilene XT Extra Tough -------------------28.0
Yo-Zuri Hybrid -----------------------------25.5
Stren Magnathin ---------------------------21.6
Maxima Chameleon -----------------------21.5
Pure Fishing Vanish -----------------------20.5


My results for same selected lines adjusted for diameter differences.

"10 pound Test"......Lbs per 0.001"................Lbs per 0.001
..........................Fresh Line.....................Fatigued Line

P Line Xtra....................1.23........................1.22......98%
Stren xtra.....................1.17........................1.06......90%
Maxima Cham.................1.00........................0.56.......56%
Stren Magnathin...............0.97.......................0.77.......79%
Yozuri Clear....................0.95.......................0.85.......89%
Trilene Xtra....................0.91.......................0.72........80%
Vanish Fluorocarbon..........0.88.......................0.51........58%

Using the test results from the Sportfishing experiments on 20 pound test.
(line diameter x 1000)/Mean Wet Break Strength in lbs=strength in Lbs per 0.001" of diameter.

P Line Xtra....................1.82
Stren xtra.....................1.80
Yozuri Clear....................1.55
Trilene Xtra....................1.55
Stren Magnathin..............1.44
Vanish Fluorocarbon..........1.28
Maxima Chameleon...........1.19
