Are there objective test results / grades for multifilament (braided) lines?
The German fishing magazine Blinker tested 12 multifilaments from different manufacturers, different qualities came under scrutiny such as: braiding – suppleness – surface – thickness – castability – how it sits on the spool – abrasion-resistance – breaking strain (by the German Fisheries Research Institute (BFAFi) in Hamburg). The best in test was clearly the STROFT GTP from WAKU. Blinker magazine said of STROFT GTP: There is a clear winner, and it is the Stroft GTP from Waku. Compared to its indicated diameter, it was judged extremely thin, round and supple. On the water, it scored with its very good performance on the reel and good casting qualities. In the tensile test, it withstood a greater load then advertised on the spool. Read full test.
