    Thank you for, finally, real accurate fishing line tests !
    I think that a parameter you could evaluate with a rating is the difference between declared diameter and real diameter of the wire, this would demonstrate the true quality of a braided (thin and resistant).
    I don’t know if exists a mathematical formula like: (lbs measured- lbs declared)/(real diameter - declared diameter).
    Thanks for your job again!

      That's seems like the basis of a formula that would demonstrate how accurate the line is rated, irrelevant if it's actual performance. That in itself isn't a bad idea, I will look into that.

      @@thelinelaboratory I'm telling you this because in Italy we usually use braided lines for fishing from the shore and cast as far as possible (in many spots it is important to throw very far the lure to reach the fish).
      For this reason, many times when choosing the braid, the cosumator looks at the diameter indicated by the manufacturer and the breaking load. In the case of your test I would feel cheated by the seller, as I would have expected a diameter of the braided 0.23 (or similar) and instead I find a real 0.376

    Essa linha é uma das principais escolhas dos brasileiros no Aliexpress . Eu tenho cerca de 1km dessa mesma linha. A bitola descrita, 0,23, é indicada para todo tipo de pescaria no Brasil. A 0,23 é sempre a primeira linha dos pescadores brasileiros. No mais, parabéns pelo canal e pela criteriosa análise!

      Parece-me que é precisamente nesse parâmetro que a realidade mais se desvia do anunciado pela marca, e muito pela negativa.
      De facto adquiri esta mesma linha e notei imediatamente que o diâmetro anunciado seria nem superior ao real.
      Para mim é um ponto muito negativo uma.vez que reduz imenso a distância de lançamento quando usadas amostras leves, tamanho desvio da realidade fez-me arrumar a bobine de 300m na gaveta.
      O que vale é que é material barato e desse modo o "prejuízo" não é tão impactante.
      Boas jornadas.

    Mis felicitaciones por su canal y las experiencias que nos aporta.
    No tengo el Manster de 33 lbs pero si he usado durante 1 año el MANSTER W8 II de 22 lbs / 10 kg / 0,16 mm / Hi Vis Yellow .
    Voy a obviar el diámetro del trenzado, no tengo con que medirlo, pero si puedo medir la capacidad de rotura a tracción y después de hacer 6 mediciones, todas las roturas se produjeron entre los 3,918 y los 5,875 kg. El fabricante indica capacidad de rotura de 10 kg.
    Positivo es que ninguna rotura se produjo por el nudo, siempre en la línea
    Sin comentarios.

    To be honest I always like a braid knot strength to be near to the rating, at the end of the day you will always have a knot in the braid of some sort. That’s a very good braid in my eyes

    Thanks for your work! I was confused because I could only spool roughly 120m of 0.15mm braided line on my spool, despite the fact that the lettering on the spool promised 360m (calculated on nylon). Could this be because the line is considerably thicker than expected, and I'm probably spooling a line with 0.20-0.25mm average?

    Another excellent test. Although very informative to see the test, the final decision which one to buy still isn't easy. Good performance /price ratio is also to be considered. And in performance knot resistance / abrasion / tensile strength have to be balanced. Also thickness if you consider the line capacity of your spool. The understated line diameter is something that really bothers me as it is actually false advertising and decreases your casting distance considerably. And you also may have to trow away several meters of to much line you actually paid for

      The creator is Australian, oddly in Australia all brands advertise diameter in metric but nearly all fishing lines are quoted in lbs which is very strange as most of our rods are marketed as having line ratings in kg! Doesn't make sense. Daiwa J braid is quoted in lbs yet Daiwa's rods line ratings are in kg. Strange! Fortunately the PE system is taking over more and more.

      Ho caricato 240m di questo ( esattamente 33lb) su un baitcaster che ne contiene 190 di monofilo da 0,36.... Qualcosa non quadra. 😅 Non può essere 0,37, al di là del fatto che sia sicuramente più che 0,23, sottostimato quindi, come la stragrande maggioranza dei prodotti in commercio, come vediamo in questo stupendo canale YT.
      Al tatto sembra praticamente pari spessore del Kairiki 0,23 che pure ho e non comprerò mai più (che schifezza!) a differenza del Manster W8 II .
      Setoso, scorrevolissimo, non carica d'acqua la bobina, prestazioni indiscutibili... Perché dovrei spendere 6 volte di più?
