I'm curious about PE line ratings in terms of their diameters.

Searching online, I see lists of PE line starting with 0.6. However, I see PE line for sale at thicknesses of 0.14, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4. What is the diameter of those lines?

Thanks for any insight.

Japanese lines are measured in an industry standard scale called “号” or "goh", that's the number (0.6) you're likely seeing.
Here is a good explanation from Varivas: https://www.varivas.fishing/japanese-fishing-line-size/

There are chart towards the bottom for various line types and corresponding mm/inches measurements to goh sizing.

Just a quick warning that they won't all be the same. The PE number is assigned according to dtex standard, ratio of weight to length. Accordingly, lines with tighter weave will be thinner, material (Dyneema, Izanas) will matter, too, despite the fact that they are all made of polyethylene. I do not know how they use this standard with hybrid lines that contain strands of polyester or fluorocarbon in addition to polyethylene.

Thanks! Grateful for the helpful link!
