Not this again
Someone did measure a sunray line a few years back, James... The results are on a different forum, but I'm quite sure he'll share them here belly was heavier and thicker than stated, and runningline was sinking (great way of making it thinner )
Yay, magic
Cheers

Sunray Micro Thin Fly Lines
The most bizarre thing was when Tom replied to the thread where I pointed out his 'ultra thin' #5 line was in fact fatter (in the head) than a MED #5 with a statement along the lines of - "well you'd expect that because the MED has a much longer head - if you roll out a sausage so it's longer, it gets thinner". Well that told meLasse Karlsson wrote:Not this again

The weight scale used by Sunray is a bit strange:
Their #1 is a #2 and their #5 is a #4 approximately
Only the #3 is in line with affta
Nearly all the weigth is in the head.

Not sure it is magid, or snake oil - I'm trying a few of these, next week, and am assured by a completly independent user, that these lines are just superb, especially in the lighter weights and for casting in a wind...will report back!

Re: Sunray Micro Thin Fly Lines
Most think a line is nice when it throws like a heavier line, without realising it is because its heavier
Bring scales
