Hey Guys,
I am new here though I have been fishing for quite some time. I have read some posts and forums from this site and thought I would give it a go. I was wondering about braided fishing line and its test strength. I currently use 15 pound test as a finesse fisherman. I have looked up many videos and posts about braided line quality and strength and have seen videos where the braided fishing line breaks with only 80-85% of its break weight applied (ex: 15lb breaks with 12-13 lbs applies; 50lb breaks with 40-42lbs applied). Is this normal or is the line shown (Kastking, Suffix, Powerpro, Spiderwire) just faulty or bad line? Thanks, hope my question is clear!
