WEIGHTS AND LENGTHS
Many
lures come from the U.S.A. where Imperial
measures are still used, but some lures
are European in origin and so come labelled
up with metric sizes. Rather than convert
them I leave them as they are. This dual
approach does not confuse me, but it might
do you. So here is a rough and ready conversion
chart.

LINE DIAMETERS
This
chart is a guideline to what you can expect
from nylon monofilament. It will also allow
you to compare other types of lines (copolymers
or braids) with monofilament by their diameters.
