Please
note that I list the breaking strains originally used by Power Pro when the line
was launched, and that the metric conversions stated on EU Power Pro packaging
and spools do not relate accurately to the stated Imperial breaking strain - which
actually appears in (very) small print, right of centre, on the spools of Power
Pro sold for the European market
- picture here.
To
further complicate matters the UK distributors now list a more accurate conversion
from kgs to lbs in their lists! The
table below shows how these all relate. If
in doubt - order by diameter.
| | Diam.
(mm) |
US |
UK/EU | | 0.15 | 10lb/9kg | 9kg/20lb |
| 0.23 | 20lb/15kg | 15kg/33lb |
| 0.28 | 30lb/20kg | 20kg/44lb |
| 0.36 | 50lb/30kg | 30kg/66lb |
| 0.41 | 65lb/40kg | 40kg/88lb |
| 0.43 | 80lb/48kg | 48kg/106lb |
| 0.46 | 100lb/55kg | 55kg/121lb |
I think
the metric measurement reflects the unknotted breaking strength of the line, while
the US lbs reflects the knotted strength.
I hope this clears up the confusion!
