Test Fishing
Is there a simple but effective method to test the breaking strain of fishing line?
I have read that testing of fishing line requires sophisticated and expensive equipment. I wonder whether anyone has been able to put together a simple piece of equipment by which the breaking strain of fishing line could be tested quickly and accurately.
The reason for asking this question is because it is necessary to test the breaking strain of line for line-class competitions and for IGFA line class records. (Scott, please note)
Use a swivel to emulate the knot you would be using while actually fishing, and attach a bucket on the end. Slowly add weight (water works well) until the line breaks. Weigh the bucket. If you don't have a good scale for that, estimate the weight by the volume of water it took to snap the line: water weighs about 8 lbs per gallon, so you can get an easy 40 lbs of weight in a 5-gallon bucket.
