MEASURING TENSILE STRENGTH
Have you ever wondered how manufacturers test the breaking strength of
braided fishing line. FINS Braidman, Dave Burch, shows us the machine he
uses to check how strong FINS braid really is. If you look on the FINS
packaging, it shows the average breaking strength of the line, and it's
usually much higher than the line is rated. 15 pound
FINS 40G
braid breaks at 30 pounds but when you tie a knot, Braidman brings that
number down to 26 pounds due to human error and knots. I often wonder how
some people can still fish with mono-filament when braid has no stretch
and the strength of double the tensile weight. Do yourself a favor, if you
still throw mono, give
FINS 40G or
Windtamer
a try. It throws and feels the most like mono and making the switch will be
that much easier for your fishing.
