Jerry Brown Solid (non-hollow) 80lbs vs 100lbs
June 11, 2014, 11:48:06 PM
Hi,
Does anyone know whether the Jerry Brown solid 80lbs is thinner or thicker than the solid 100lbs?
I was searching around, only saw people mentioning the Hollow Core 80lbs is thicker than Hollow Core 100lbs.
Please advise. Thanks

Solid JB 80 is indeed thinner than 100. At least according to a us site that makes and sells windon leaders. For hollow, the reverse is true as 80 uses more strands.

I have both, and the 80lb JB solid looks a feels thicker than the 100lb JB solid to me.
Cheers,
Ian

The 80lb is thicker and stronger than the 100lb. Although the 80lb is a 16 strand hollow (as opposed to the usual 12 strands) I have no idea why they called the stronger and thicker line 80lb...
Here a website that measures breaking strain and diameter of various lines:

Was a little suspicious first but found his test results to be correct (at least diameters) through spooling and using a few lines listed there and comparing how much I could get on my reels.
