Gents.

For the double handed events what would your max & min breaking strains be, and would you have both as in salmon fishing.

Hi Bob,

I select my running line according to the competition rules, not what I'd want, necessarily, for fishing. As such, for the 55g and ST27 events I use nylon mono of diameter >0.35mm. Currently I have two spools, the tensile strength of these is 20lb and 22lb respectively.

Cheers, James
