Korda » ADRENALINE 0.30, 0.33

KORDA The main consideration when developing a casting line is how to rate it in terms of diameter and breaking strain. In the match fishing world, the spoken language is in terms of millimetres and diameters, not pounds and breaking strains. In carp fishing, things are very different ‚ all anglers only talk in breaking strain, seemingly without ever considering the actual thickness. This means that almost all carp fishing lines are MASSIVELY underrated in terms of breaking strain.
For example, a popular 15lb line breaks at over 23lb and has a diameter of 0.40mm. That is a thickness comparable to a 20lb line, but is sold as 15lb. Therefore, everybody says this line is strong‚ but amazingly hardly anybody says this is bloody thick!
Obviously, where casting is concerned, diameter suddenly becomes the main consideration and if you speak to any of the country’s leading casters they all, without exception, speak in terms of diameter knowing full well that while one 10lb line may be 0.32mm, another 10lb line measuring 0.30mm will outperform it and cast further.
We consulted the Tackle Box to see how varied the range of lines sold as 12lb actually is. Incredibly of the 20 different brands of 12lb line sold, the diameter varies from 0.26mm right up to 0.38mm. These are all rated at 12lb yet have actual breaking strains from as low as 9.8lb up to a massive 22.5lb!
Suddenly it becomes clear why it is so misleading to talk in pounds. Only true diameter together with an accurately rated breaking strain makes sense, not what the line has been labelled as.
