So the discussion continues - it's strength vs line diameter. I get that, so which is more advantageous to fishing? For the sake of discussion using 12# mono as a baseline and also for the discussion the 12# baseline mono also has an IGFA approved breaking srength (test) of 12#.
Different lines of the same breaking strength can have different line diameters dependant upon the material the line is constructed from. In this discussion we're considering co-polymer line and p primary characteristic of co-poly is it is stronger than comparable mono (the baseline) of the same diameter or line size. There are two schools of thought at work here among the members. One side of the room thinks there may be an advantage in using a line that is stronger yet the same diameter of the base line mono (12#). Therefore changing to a co-polymer line with the same size diameter as our 12# mono baseline, allows the use of a line with about 15# breaking strength (test). End result, same "size" line, but gains another 3# of breaking strength without loosing anything in exchange. The other side of the room, has a different opinion and see co-polymer's advantage as being a line of the same breaking strength (test) as the baseline 12# mono, but having a smaller diameter, which makes it thinner. End result, same strength but thinner line may impove castability, impove ability to run a lure slightly deeper & be less visibile without loosing anything in exchange. Each side of the room sees advantages, and neither is incorrect in thier opinion. Depends upon your fishing style, water fished, and personal preferences. Is one more advantageous in the pursuit of bass? Depends on which side of the room you're sitting in. Democrats on the left, Republicans on the right. Wait, this isn't a political discussion, just sounds like one................. |
