65lb Tufline on a Dog Fight

<< < (2/4) > >>

John Adams Smith:
Don't know what the diameter of the boat braid is, but I can tell you that 80lb braid on a 16000FA stella spool I have about 330 yards of braid on there.

Jarrad Heritage:
The Whiplash sounds like the goods, I'll look into it

Eric Tai:
Saltiga boat braid appears thicker than some other manufacturers' equivalent PE rating.

e.g. My SW20k with PE8 Ultra jigman took roughly 330m. With PE6 boat braid (0.44mm) I only got 370-380m (probably would have gotten on 400m with better line lay), still this is far from the PE6-500m listed on the spool (PE6 Avani Big One maybe...)

A member on another forum told me:

PE4 Boat braid = 0.36mm
PE5 Boat braid = 0.4mm

Hope this helps.

Shouldn't you have gotten the same amount of PE8 of Ultra Jigman and Boat Braid on, since the PE is a measurement of the line's diameter?

By the way, I have spooled a few 20000 with 80lb Boat Braid (PE6), and  have gotten between 580-620m on, depending on how tight I've spooled it. You were only able to put on 370-380m....are you sure you haven't spooled on with PE8 Boat Braid, which is 100lb?

Eric Tai:
Thats weird. Definately got Saltiga boat braid PE6.

From what I can tell PE8 ultra jigman is 0.47mm, only slightly thicker than PE6 boat braid 0.44mm, i thought this accounted for the similar capacities.

I think I need you to fill my spools!  :o
