I welcome this ambitious undertaking. Line advertising has been almost unchecked since Berkley bought Stren, and nonstandardized labeling makes it hard for most anglers to make comparisons.
I am surprised by an aspect of your rating system. The explanation of the new rating system states, with regard to parallel spooling of the line, that
"This minimizes instances of
pinching, folding, creasing, and any other deformities
each of which can affect everything from the strength of your line to how well it casts. This indication of quality is...worth 5 points in our FPI."
Do you have research data to validate those assertions? If so, I hope you will share that with us, as I have never noted that with nylon monofilaments. The only parallel-spooled nylon monos I have tested, both by Sufix, have considerably lower tensile strengths than many normally-spooled nylon monos. I have never encountered a folded line on a spool, or found a section of line pinched between other coils on the supply spool that tested weaker than the rest of the line.
By "creasing," I imagine you are referring to the slight tight waviness that line can have off the spool when it is not parallel-wound. But isn't parallel-wound line going to acquire those waves upon transfer to a spool of a spinning or baitcasting reel? Do you have comparative casting data to substantiate that lines cast better if they came from a parallel-laid spool? For all I know, crinkled lines could interrupt line-to-guide friction and produce
longer casts. (Just watch--now the next Best-of-Show line at ICast will come pre-crinkled and be marketed as a low-friction breakthrough!

)
What are the other "everythings" between the strength of the line and how well it casts that are affected by "pinching, folding, creasing, and other deformities" supposedly caused by traditional line-spooling, and what data demonstrates the negative effects?
One of the lines for which you showed a score would have improved about 10 percent in points if not for the hit it took for not being parallel-wound. If you have empirical data to demonstrate that parallel winding really does enhance strength, castability, and other unspecified properties, your upcoming reports would gain credibility if you shared that. If not, since you haven't really started publishing ratings yet, this would be the perfect time to chuck the 5-point hit. Just trying to be helpful, as I anticipate that many other members will be as interested as I am to see what you find out about the many fluorocarbon lines out there.
