The diameter is 0.15mm, and the breaking load is 7.9kg... Is it possible?Finnz922 wrote:What about it makes you think it's fake?
Yes it's possible. Fireline Crystal 6lbs is listed at .15mm and breaks around 16.55 lbs. Tracer braid or fused, in fact, all of the line made by Berkeley has very good S/D ratio since it's the same underlying dyneema just spun or fused and coated differently. Your line is a European market line so the ABS is listed correctly and not underestimated like USA market. But your knot strength will be far far below that unless you go FG or PR knot.r21 wrote:The diameter is 0.15mm, and the breaking load is 7.9kg...
