Disco is spot on......The USA is not in the same league as the rest of the world with fishing line. The rest of the world produces...and sells line that actually is the poundage it says it is. For most foreign companies putting a #test rating on the label is just a nicety they do. The end user goes by diameter......he knows by the diameter what the line will test out at. How we got into the habit of selling say 2# test line that is actually 3# test....or 4# test that is really 6# ....test....and so on is beyond me. When I asked a popular...at the moment...YouTube fisherman what brand and diameter his 1# test fishing line he said he was using I never got an answer....and I asked the question on 2 separate occasions. One pound test line is not sold here.....there is some mono sold in some sewing shops that says it is 1# test but it really is not. I would much prefer the lines sold in the USA to be properly labeled...a very few lines sold here are......P-Line CX Premium comes to mind...it is still made in Japan.
