Last night I started unpacking my flytying and fishing stuff into a new cupboard. Specially designed by my wife so that I can tie flies, leave everything and just close the doors. It's great!
Anyway I came accross a spool of Maxima 2kg nylon I now use for ribbing etc. The stats on the front reads as follows:
0.17mm; 2kg
The tippet I use has the following stats:
2X Araty Diamond 0.20mm; 10lb ; 4.53kg
3X Araty Diamond 0.18mm; 8lb ; 3.62kg
4X Double Atlas Platinum 0.16mm; 7lb; 3.17kg (Dry breaking strain)
These are the lab results, my field results aren't much different. I cannot see the point of using 2kg Maxima on yellowfish in the Vaal. There is no way in hell that the fish will notice the difference between 0.18 and 0.17.
