Wow. I'm a big fan of Project Farm and this just felt like Project Fish to me. Great job, really appreciate the information and the work involved. Quality production too. Anyway I'm off to find some of your other test videos.
Before clicking on this video I had my own personal favorite braid and I'm glad these tests matched up with my own personal experience. Power pro super slick is definitely my favorite braided line that I've tried.
I've been using Power Pro for soo long and I've tried a few other brands but I keep going back to Power Pro. For the value and performance and reliability, I found Power Pro works best for me!
Best unscientific test I’ve seen! Here in Idaho I’m fishing a lot around lava rocks l needed to see the abrasion test it worked for me! Thanks brother!
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do it! I was surprised at how much higher the breakpoint was versus the actual rating of the line. Didn’t expect that.
These videos take a ton of time and effort, i appreciate you watching them. I have a few others I think are equally as interested. And I’m sure they do… I haven’t heard anything though 😂😂
I just came across your channel and this test was very helpful. I appreciate the time and energy you’ve put into this test especially with the power pro on the abrasion test! 😂I know that took some patience!
-I've been trying to figure out how to take knots out of the equation in my line tests. I would not have come up with your method in 100 years. Well done!
I am kind of stuck on power pro, it works for me . Wind knots are a problem with low poundage, light lures and strong winds …. But you learn casting techniques to keep that to a minimum..
Great vid keep them coming. All I been using is braid these last 2yrs and I am either using power pro or suffix..however after watching this video I have to put suffix on the back burner..
Power Pro Braid is the only line I use for Braid. The cost, value, durability and fishability. Then for Fluorocarbon, I've always used P-Line. Same thing... cost, value, durability and fishability are amazing.
Tight Lines Braid. It's actually made in the USA by a small company. The color stay perfectly. It is very smooth and soft. It is an excellent 8 strand solid. They also have hollow core.
I’ve used powerpro line on my spinning rods for years and have been really happy with it. Sometimes the line with be spooled on for more than a season and I’ll use it in fresh and saltwater and even drag catfish across rocky river bottoms with it. It’s good stuff and worth the cost to buy a bigger spool to fill several rods with it.
Seems like my love for power pro is valid. Thanks for the great video. Ive tried many braids. I feel power pro just doesnt quit. When a fish wraps you around a limb or some big pad stems. The only line i trust is power pro
Great video, using a tensionless hitch was definitely a good idea, something else you could add is a snatch test and stretch test. The variety of results on the abrasion test are because of changing the angle while pulling
Man am I glad I stumbled across your channel! (Already liked and subscribed) I'm going on a boat named The Yankee Capts 4 times in the next 3 months. These trips are 4 and 5 days long,100 miles plus into the Gulf of Mexico out of Key West. I'm doing both "lite" less than 400ft, and deep drops up to 1000ft. I'll be primarily slow pitch jigging but I'll soak a dead bait if necessary. I've been looking for a 20lb - 30lb 8 strand braid with a diameter less than .01, preferably in the .006 range due to depths we'll be in. Also the Diawa Saltiga 50 is listed to hold 65lb/610, 80lb/460. So I'll probably need about 50% more than this. This was immensely interesting and informative. I can't wait to see your other videos. Keep up the awesome work!
Appreciate that man, good luck on your trip. I have made more of these videos recently that I think are better.. feel free to take a look.. thanks for watching
Would love to see you test the suffix 131. Expensive but I heard great things about it. I've been using Powerpro for all my flipping/punching and finesse set ups but decided to switch to 832 for this year just to test out other brands and different price points.
I've used three of these lines. Began with Piscifun. It was ok, but very course to the touch. It came off the spool slower in comparison so not as much casting distance. Smackdown was the smoothest to the touch and worked well. Currently using PowerPro and like it very much. I switched from Smackdown to PowerPro because Smackdown only sold in 150yd spools which was a waste for my needs.
@@DishesandFishesI have a question would this test be similar results percentage wise with higher pound braid I just got some 80 lb suffix 832 braid and this vid is giving me second guesses
Thanks for the testing. What I have found is the diameter determines its breaking strength most the time. The true diameter is the question. Daiwa Jbraid is the strongest per diameter that I have seen, power pro is close behind.
Thought powerpro would fair the best. My concern now is Amazons accuracy. Is it possible they “fudge” the truth for increased sales. How does a person verify how many products?
I've been using power pro for like 15 years. When I first bought it I could tell it was some decent line cause it would hardly cut with nail clippers which is what I usually use to cut tag ends on the boat
I think if you made the speed and angle of the pulls and releases more consistent, that would make for more accurate results. If the speed is varied than the uneven heating of the line can be an unwanted variable. Also, a varying angle would give more or less pressure/surface area and thus variable abrasion on the line as well. In any case, I think this is a great idea. I hope you can do one on abrasion between types of lines (braid, fluoro, mono). Looking forward to this series!
What crazy about this durability test is. I’ve fished both power pro and sufix. Power pro for me has broken more time for me while fishing than sufix has and frayed way more for me than sufix has. But good job on the test!
You have to maybe rub a fresh spot of sandpaper for each line, because you’re gonna knock down some of the grit, making it less effective. Don’t know if you did that or not.
@@KarlMaldensNose there were quick failures in some line after the paper was run through already so maybe that wouldn’t matter as much as I was thinking
Yes if you don't have a controlled speed and angle it means nothing even if you change the paper. Friction if you speed up will create heat and make the line fail quicker. The angle of not straight on each will create different patterns and differentiate the results.
A very good demo of line quality and strength to strips away all the marketing fluff. Its Powerpro on my reels from now on. Have you done the same test on KastKing's braided lines?
Came across your channel so underrated! I’ve used 832, the ssv2, and the smack down. I’ve found that for casting the seaguar actually casts better than the other two but that’s me just sharing a little info cause this information stuff you do is awesome!
Hey I've enjoyed watching these line tests so much! In next test videos, could you please do a stretch test as well? To measure sensitivity I guess? I hope your channel grows!!
8 carrier braids are not super to 4 carrier lines in either breaking strength per diamter or abrasion resistance. Apples to oranges very different applications. However Power Pro Maxcuatro which is the 4 carrier line of the same material V2 is made from is so thin for its breaking strength it could be considered superior
Thank you so much man very nice video ..true i am happy because i have to kind of braid line one is kastking i hope you make testing on this line also i hsve power pro both lines is strong. Thanks again Have a good time🌷
PP Super Slick V2 is fantastic line. I recently got some Berkley X9 for use on my spinning reels. It's very limp and casts better than the PP. Haven't had any issues yet. Wouldn't recommend it on baitcaster though. Tried it on one and it's so fine that it digs horribly.
You should test the power pro vs spiderwire durabraid.durabraid is supposed to be more abrasion resistant. Just curious. I used to like spiderwire but I swear the quality has went down in the last couple yrs
Loved your tests dude great job very fair and scientific. Lots of time involved in doing these tests for us. Thanks . Really cool to watch. I love using power pro v2. Also just subscribed dude👍👍
@@DishesandFishes I'd like to see Diawa x4 x 8 100% flouro compares to those others. Or even leader material vs non leader material flouro. I was surprised with the flouro test on P line doing so much better than Seagar for abrasion but that's why people like yourself do these tests is to see if the claims are true 👍
You should do this test using Ohero Advanced Braid. I have never broken this line under actual fishing conditions and I.ve been using it for 20 years. Ohero 15lb test is .12mm, Their 25lb is .20mm and their 30lb is .24. I
Came across your channel love your testing methods! Wonder if you would go back and do the strength test again with the flourcarbon like you did here with the Braid I use cheap flouro cause line isn’t cheap for something have to replace frequently lol
@@DishesandFishes I have always heard how the braid will break so much easier than nylon. Or fluorocarbon. That's all I meant. Was borderline sarcastic lol. Thanks for the reply tho..
Fantastic tests. I would love to see this replicated with kastking superpower as it is commonly touted as the best "bang for the buck" braid and it is on the thin side.
All braid is either 8 or 4 strand? I use 16 strand, 12 and a spool of 9 strand. This is hopelessly out of date and buying from Amazon outside the US is a guarantee of spending 3 times more than ebay and 4 times more than Ali.
Strange, this is the exact opposite of my personal experience. I've always felt Seaguar was far and away the most abrasion resistant and strongest. Have had too many breakoffs to count with power pro. I also have a lot of good experience with 832. This is not at all what I would have expected.

Agreed. I used all Powerpro Slick8 for all my reel in the last 15 years. Very smooth, less friction and much lower noise than the others
I'm deciding on new braid, guess it's power pro then. Everyone seems to say only good about it. You mean 4 braid or 8 braid version?
Same for me, always comes back to power pro after being dissapointed by the other brands 😂

The thing is , when I buy a 15 lb line I want the thinnest line that is 15 lb. Not one that's labeled 15 but is thicker and actual 25 lb.
As a newer angler I agree 100%. There is enough inaccurate information to remember to ignore.

Soo expensive
Does the spool of each braid weight the same? That could have an impact
I see the point. That and the diameter :) we all know that in the American market lines are mislabeled.
Fantastic these were some good ideas to test line, seriously I'm pulling out the buckets and scale for my own home test, nicely done.

You need to try p-line braid next it’s the one I switched two after using power line
Since you used bps line in the fluorocarbon, how about a comparison with bps Excel braid?

Should do kastking pro 13x finesse and beyond braid
Unless you changed either the spot the line was dragged on or the entire sandpaper roll the abrasion results are probably not completely accurate.
8 carrier braids are not super to 4 carrier lines in either breaking strength per diamter or abrasion resistance. Apples to oranges very different applications. However Power Pro Maxcuatro which is the 4 carrier line of the same material V2 is made from is so thin for its breaking strength it could be considered superior
I had to stop fishing years back because of illness. How can I identify what strength/brand braid that’s still on my sturgeon reel? Thanks
Not sure.. I’d probably take it off and put some fresh stuff on

We did a break test on several 10 lb test and 8 lb power pro won our test the all new snipping braid 10 lb broke between 5 and 6 every time
Wow
Should have Yo-Zuri in the mix I've seen other test where it outperforms power pro and beyond braid
Fantastic tests. I would love to see this replicated with kastking superpower as it is commonly touted as the best "bang for the buck" braid and it is on the thin side.
I’ll make a note of that
What pound test was used for the tests?
15
I like Berkeley fire line, yozuri and jbraidHow bout testing those along with bass pro
👍🏼👍🏼
Spider wire and power pro for me
I know im late but genuinely curious did you swap to fresh sand paper each time?
Yes
Thx this definitely helped me make a decision 👊
All braid is either 8 or 4 strand? I use 16 strand, 12 and a spool of 9 strand. This is hopelessly out of date and buying from Amazon outside the US is a guarantee of spending 3 times more than ebay and 4 times more than Ali.
As a PowerPro convert, I'm not surprised in the slightest. Someone would have to make a miracle product for me to ever switch.
😂😂😂😂
Like Yo-Zuri? It outperforms Power Pro on multiple break test on other channels. It also beats out beyond braid. In more controlled test also.
I've seen similar videos and they make sure to use fresh sandpaper for each test. Did you use fresh sandpaper?
Yes
