Title: Fishing line diameter: conversion table
Post by: biggiesmalls on May 28, 2017, 08:28:13 PM
Decided to create a table of line diameters of commonly-used braids and monofilaments. Any time I'm deciding on a reel I always have to go back and forth between a bunch of tabs to find monofilament diameters and braid diameters and reel line capacities, and it's just a big mess - so, here's a page where you can compare average monofilament and braid diameters. Sooner or later I'll just set up a website with a bunch of pages like this one, but for now it's on a Google Doc. Keep in mind these are rough estimates, for a quick glance-at to tell what kind of line capacity you could get on a reel - not for exact measurements of line capacity. Enjoy!
