Within the same time period the PE6 is still around 70lb failure. This site is good for comparing braid (http://www.paulusjustfishing.com/4linetestingbuy.htm)<span style="line-height: 1.4;"> and from matching up the thickness and failure Daiwa Saltiga Boat Braid looks pretty good.</span> <span style="line-height: 1.4;"> </span> <span style="line-height: 1.4;">In summary PE4-5 are great if you want to get the most line on your reel, PE6 is great if you prefer your line to last several trips. </span> |
