*First time using braided line. Was not sure what to expect I'm hooked now! Super strong and smaller diameter. What's not to love?*
exactly what i needed, thank you sir
You’re very welcome! Thanks! 😊
You need to wrap the line a number of times around the stick and the scale. Doing so, takes pressure off the knot.
Thanks! 👍😊
And probably use a ratchet strap to evenly and consistently add the load.
Kastking upgraded their formula this year, and those listings are marked with [upgraded] in the title, it would be interesting to see how this compares in your tests. In my tests with it, the 10lb consistently broke at right around 14lb.
Good idea! :-)
Use a Berkley Braid or Fish N Fool knot to see what the line itself will hold. Those knots typically hold 130% or more of the line strength. Also, use a heavy leader around the anchor points and a heavy swivel to attach the line on both ends. Tying to a large diameter scale hook or wood dowel will increase the angle of pull on the line and reduce the results.
0.22mm Kastking braid was overkill for a freshwater Drum that I caught in the Missouri River. It was at least 20 inches and made the drag scream a bit. I think 14mm could have done the job. Maybe less without horsing it. I'll be buying this along with JOF and Sea Knight Tri-Poseidon.
Cool! Let us know how they are too. Thanks!
I used to use kastking braid but it would eat through my eyelets and has made ridges in my spinning reels on the bail where the line goes through it. It's a very rough/chunky braid almost like a saw. Went back to spiderwire stealth
Thanks Dylan!!! That’s awesome feedback! 👍👍👍
Sounds like it would tear up some lily pads too
Spider wire is the most garbage braid period
Nice test John. It would be interesting to see how it would perform as a wet line. Can you soak the line in a bucket of water before you do the test.
Thanks Dennis! I'll try that out!
fishyaker thanks John. Looking forward to that test.
have you tried out the wet line theory yet?
That's pretty good tbf
Thanks!
Make sure to use the same knot each time... I think you mentioned that you were using different knots... changing knots will give different breaking strengths, and all the failures seemed to be at or near the knot.
Great point! Thanks Chris!!!
I hate to tell you but your test is flawed. No offense you have a great presentation but a short strand of line is not representative of the overall durability of fishing line you should be testing with at least 12-15 ft Because when you shorten the line You're effectively taking away torque that the company had in mind when testing. In the auto mechanic industry you can break wrenches and sockets and bolts all day but adding a few extra feet gets the job done 90% of the time no sweat. Thanks
Agreed Rob! These weren't the most scientific of tests. :-)
torque and tensile strain are unrelated
Torque is applicable to the rod.
Absolutely is not the same thing at all but it's still not a bad idea because some of the line might be weaker
I have 57lbs braided lines can I catch 20kg size fish
You should have no problem. 👍
good vid but there is NO line that is not affected by the knot -- to get an accurate line strength you have to use 2 dowels rap several raps around a dowel the pull the dowel with the scale -- I have noticed the SuperPower Braid is very small compared to PPro
Thanks Sonny! Good call! :-)
I do a lot of surf fishing and use kastking once and that was enough for me to not use it anymore rather pay more and buy suffix spiderwire or mustad that is cheaper and works great. Power pro is ridiculously expensive and when you cast on strong wind creates to much nesting on line.
Luis Moreno thanks! I totally agree! 👍😊
Completely agree. The line is crap for surf
You didn't mention which knots you were using with each test.
Well, I just bought some 30lb line from them and the sealine 30 that I'm gonna put it on has 15 lbs of drag so I should be good. At least I hope so anyway. Man I would hate to lose a good fish because I wanted to save a couple bucks on line
Guys I just don't know it comes to this braided line situation. I am a power pro guy all the way and growing up I have used spiderwire stealth which would probably remain my second choice. However I have not tried the kastking braided line... just tonight I did order a extremely large 1000 + yard spool of 30 lb kastking braid. I feel these tests can be flawed and so many different ways. But I also feel like paying the price for Power Pro gets a little old after a while. I mean especially when you have numerous reels you are spoiling up... Just saying...
@@gmanmule6931 ive been using kastking for years now, landed several stingrays over 40 lbs on the 30lb , more than not my mono leader of the same lb rating breaks before the braid
Can you do this in 25lb ?
I’ll try to get some. 👍
Sir, have you tested kastking superpower line with diameter 0.07 mm?
Not yet, Konrad. Have you used it?
fishyaker nope. I ordered it 2 days ago.
Just for a test.
Let us know what you think about it.
fishyaker ok
BYU hat nice u must have some fam in Utah.
My daughter is at BYU now. ;-)
@@fishyakernice! I'm in the 801 too lots of places to fish that's why I was looking at this line reviews. Most reservoirs are rocky and I lose alot of lures fishing from the shore cant afford to waste all the money on fluoro+lures.
I've been using the 40lb super 8 by them for the better part of 6 years now and haven't had an issue catching everything from 2lb bass to 110lb gators. Just put 65lb extremus on a saltwater setup haven't had any issues there either. I did notice with the lighter end of their lineup the line had a tendency to break if placed under rapid stress i.e. hook sets. Also buying from eBay, even though from kastking, could result in older line like they found a box that didn't sell and still wanted to make money
older line dont make it change that much people flip the line all the time
Berapa lbs yang di test?
i was expecting more from this line even more now that i heard they are going to make a line made in USA anyway very nice review
Agreed Marko!
Even big brand name broke before advertising
Yep!
Sorry I felt necessary to make a second comment. Even though growing up a freshwater fishing until I move to South Florida several years ago as said I always use spiderwire stealth. Once introduced to Power Pro I really have not looked back. I still love my spiderwire stealth but I have noticed it has a little more tendency to fray than Power Pro. So I will check this cash king braided line out and let you know my results. Again if Power Pro was just not so damn expensive I would stick with it one hundred percent.
Thanks Gman! I totally agree!
Try the kast king super 9 strand I'm curious compared to the 4 strand
👍
I purchased 30lb KastKing SuperPower braid. Did not even hold 20lb. I was very disappointed. I would have been pissed-off if I would have lost a lure. They ain't cheap. Don't buy cheap Braid!
I believe that it is made from Dacron but I cannot be sure.
nope ... dacron is huge compared to deema
Just get the 65 lb by kastking 8 strand not the 4 strand that is for 50 and under
65 and up are 8 strands
Thanks Josue! 👍
Sufix 832 has 8 strands in all diameters including 10,15 and 20lb . That's all I use
Don't use a knot, you're weakening the line at the knot. This isn't a accurate test. You should make a knot and wind it around the hook. ua-cam.com/video/pgfDwzj_P6w/v-deo.html these test are done on the old kastking superpower braid, but the method is more accurate and the line doesn't break at the knot
Thanks Hano! :-)
I have tried all of Kastking lines with great dissappointment. Power Pro is my go to brand. Avoid Kastking in my opinion
less talk more information please .
:-)
Just buy 5-10 lb more I guess.
That would work too! 😁
buy by diameter, not by #test imo
ill take 15 pound .. good enough for the price..
Agreed! :-)
it is smaller than PPro so you are still getting a stronger line
This stuff is nothing special. It does not perform nearly as well as powerpro. Yes it's cheaper, it'll work. But it's nothing special.
Kastking is made in America
The superpower always used to be made in China, i think just their kastpro is made in USA
If I see braid breaking above its labelend poundage consistently I would suspect the diameter being larger than advertised. For the price 25% is good enough I agree. Just need to be easier on the brakes.
Agreed! Thanks!!!!
