As usual most folks have problems when it comes to decimals and especially Metric's ... (I am talking about the Quick Search article not the messenger) First off .100 thousands is a tenth of an inch ... My weed eater uses .090 mono and it is bigger than a BIC ball point ink cartridge .. Go look at your weed eater cord ... it is in Decimals (Thousands ) I have two, a smaller cheap one that takes .065 and a larger one that takes .090 ... Right off you know who ever wrote the Quick Search Report didn't have a clue .... Especially for 8.8 pound test ...

So what is 4Kg ?? It is equal to 8.8 pounds ... Formula is 4Kg X 2.2 =8.8 pounds test ... To me .010 would be high for 8.8... There's a lot of mono out there that is in this Diameter but a higher test range ....Just look on the spool, it gives diameter in Thousands) Now as far as Braid?? I only tried it when it first came out 30 years ago ... I didn't like it for a number of reasons ... One I like the stretch ... So I really don't know the braid equivalents as far as Diameter ( I did read the Spiderwire chart) .... Now I am sure as the Kg's/Pounds increase the Diameter will also like everything else ...

Maybe I missed something ... Let me read it again ... You do no I have had Brain surgery resonantly and I may be slipping ... I really don't think any one is going to be using fishing line the size of a small straw (.100, 1/10 of an inch for 10 pound test ).

Now if the diameter went the other way .. .001 that would be super small which I think would be a real eye opener ... Especially my eyes I couldn't see it to tie a Knot in it !!

To Me the article is very confusing it is boasting a larger than average diameter than the braid standard for that pound test ? ... Need more info on this one ... <'TK><
