But with the incremental improvements over time could you now fish 'modern' (like Shimano Ocea X8) PE6 which has a far higher breaking strain than an older PE8. The bonus is that you can spool up more for the same sized reel. Excluding abrasion resistance what am I missing here? |
The standard thickness of PE yarn uses denier (d) notation of unit. This standard is for 100% PE yarn and includes total denier including coatings and pigments. d (denier) is the mass per 9000 m in length expressed in grams.
The standard values ​​for PE yarn thickness are as below:
PE1 - 200d
PE2 - 400d
PE3 - 600d
PE4 - 800d
PE5 - 1000d
PE6 - 1200d
PE8 - 1600d
PE10 - 2000d
