I retied the leader to my spool loaded with 30lb SeaKnight braid
last night. While I was busy tying the leader I also stripped some of the line
off to help prevent a recurrence of the wind knots that had occurred on
previous sessions. I used some of the line to carry out a breaking strain test
so that I knew what I was dealing with and the results were very disappointing.
I tied one end of a length of braid to something heavy and the other to a set
of Avon scales and steadily increased the pressure. Over the course of several
tests the line broke anywhere between 15 and 20lb pull.
I'll be buying a different brand of line and reloading my spool,
before I do though I'll be repeating the pull test.
