General Fishing Discussion

Last week I asked about converting mono to braid and whether or not anyone was aware of a conversion chart. Well, lo and behold during lunch I was surfing the net and came across this.Not sure how accurate it is, maybe some of you old salts can weigh in.

Pound Test Conversion
10 lb. test = 2 lb. Monofilament Diameter
15 lb. test = 4 lb. Monofilament Diameter
20 lb. test = 6 lb. Monofilament Diameter
30 lb. test = 8 lb. Monofilament Diameter
40 lb. test = 10 lb. Monofilament Diameter
50 lb. test = 12 lb. Monofilament Diameter
65 lb. test = 16 lb. Monofilament Diameter
80 lb. test = 18 lb. Monofilament Diameter
100 lb. test = 20 lb. Monofilament Diameter

I have seen some similar charts on different brands of braid. It may depend on the braid, but most of them have it on the box. It is helpful when trying to figure out how much to put on the spool with or without backing. Either way thanks for putting it up.
