Power Pro Spectra Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi Billy,

Josh is correct about the line lengths. In a normal situation the "stretch" Josh refers to is being absorbed over a long distance ( hopefully with a

on the other end). That distance is key as pressure is distributed over the length of the line. In your experiment the pressure has only a few feet to travel across, which I think could be part of your "test" problem.

The other aspect you might want to consider is doing a blind test. Testing each line independently to see if you achieve a break point similar to the manufacturers to rule out bad batch.

Here are a couple of good links that you might find helpful.
