25% stronger and 25% thinner...that's incredible!

Is that a monkey I smell?

Wonder what its going to cost......

Things are getting more advanced I see.

Considering the board's over-whelming opinion that we should be choosing braided line tests by monofilament diameter equivalents... I guess you'll be fishing with 90lb test.

^^ since they don't seem to be making/selling it below 50lb diameter i would think PP may be in agreement with the overwhelming opinion on the board

That they can't figure out how to make a round braid?

he's saying that everyone on here says you have to throw big braid to match the line diameter of mono, hence his slightly sarcastic 90b reference.  when in fact, they only make that line in 50, 65, 80 and 100lb test so i was saying perhaps they agree with the big line diameter thought process as well.

If this is true, then I don't really find it to be that impressive at all. If it were 10lb, 20lb, and 30lb braided line that's 25% stronger and thinner then yes, but 50 and above? No, not really.

[F14A-B]

If it's 25% smaller in diameter than past braid, and 25% stronger, what's not to like? Seems like a nice improvement

Agreed, I'm very much looking forward to this line. 90% of my braid fishing is done with 50 & 65 anyway so I'm not at all discouraged that they aren't releasing it in lighter pound tests.  

[Tim Kelly]

Surely it's 25% thinner, or 25% stronger? Otherwise it would be 50% thinner or 50% stronger? 

[SirSnookalot]

I could see this being a benefit for some other species that require strength in the line as well as additional line capacity, don't see it for bass fishing.  Thinner may cause a digging in problem, certainly don't need more line capacity and a line that presently breaks at 50# isn't already strong enough.

I'd like to try this line in 10-15 or 20# (not for bass fishing), I might be concerned with a thinner diameter causing windknots.

Agree with Snook

I jest.  Tongue in cheek and such.  PP original is a great product and truly worthy of it's gold standard of braid rating but it has been shown to have less than a gold standard roundness in the context of modern 8 carriers such as Suffix 832, hence the "no go below #50' rating of PP that is common knowledge.  We're at a crossroads of braid where some good 8 carriers are dig in proof @ #30 while the old guard (PP) states that braid is unsuitable on baitcasters below #50.

 

'Boji wasn't even on my radar in this thread although I absolutely agree with him.  Tongue in cheek and whatever.        .  .
