[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 354165, member: 7608"] Did some ultimate tensile strength testing this evening on Sufix invisiline ice fluorocarbon 3 LB line, Power Pro microfilament braided 5 LB, and two different knots joining them: the double uni and the alberto. I have been running ice rods with the Power Pro main line and Sufix leader with a double uni for a few seasons without too many heartaches. Sufix had a range of 2.2 to 2.5 with an average of 2.35 LB. Power Pro had a range of 7.0 to 8.6 LB with an average of 7.95 LB. The double uni had a range of 2.0 to 2.5 with an average of 2.2 LB. The Alberto had a range of 2.1 to 2.4 with an average of 2.2 LB. All joined lines tested broke in the Sufix right at the knot. I did not do anywhere near enough tests to call this statistically significant but it was enough for me to draw some conclusions for myself. 1. Power Pro is awesome, which I already knew. 2. I should try something other than the Sufix 3 LB. 3. The double uni and alberto are both structurally efficient but the Alberto is a little faster to tie.[ATTACH type="full" alt="20221116_001118.jpg"]54964[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
