    We can always squeeze in one more at the house if we need to. We will make room. Tomorrow I will make the call one way or another.

    Would love to have you! Actually, that's a good idea. If we could get Michael (grimes200) to go for it, we could get his 28 Scout and your Reg and do a road trip to NC. A NJ/PA assault! We oughta make a plan for that.

    OTI 80# Depthfinder Line and JB 60# Hollow Tests

    A couple of months ago, OTI shipped me a sample of its 80# Depthfinder Spectra braided line. I finally had time to make some tests on it yesterday. My impressions of the line are that it is a strong, well-made 8-carrier (thread) line that is smooth and consistent. The color marking seems well applied.

    First I spliced a piece of 80# hollow-weave Spectra to the end of the OTI test sample, then I splice an end-loop in the hollow weave so that I have a knotless (no strength loss) method for attaching the test line (in this case the 80# OTI Depthfinder) to the weights that I use to check line strength. (Here is a link to the Hollow Spectra Techniques: Splicing Hollow-Weave line to Solid Line and other articles.)

    Next I slowly lift increasing weights in 2.5 lb. increments until the line breaks to determine ABS (actual breaking strength). After that, for solid-weave lines like the 80# OTI Depthfinder I tie an 8 turn Uni Knot to a large swivel and repeat the process to measure KBS (knotted breaking strength).

    One note: The tests I make have been very repeatable for a given sample of line but it has been my experience that ALL lines vary from lot to lot. The numbers below were for the samples I tested. Other lots could vary.

    OTI Depthfinder 80# Spectra Braided Line
    ABS: 104 lbs. (30% stronger than package marking)
    KBS: 74 lbs. (70% knot efficiency. I have found it good practice to assume Uni knots will be nearer 60% efficient.)
    Solid-weave pattern, 8-carrier (As a reference, PowerPro is 4-carrier)
    Line is marked every 25' using Red, Yellow, Green and Blue

    I also tested another sample of JB 60# hollow-weave line that I received from on a customer Stella 20000 SW that I was setting up for wind-on leaders. The line had been loaded with the BHP Tackle high-tension winding process and was very nicely spooled.

    JB 60# hollow-weave
    ABS: 89 lbs. (Various samples this year have tested betwee 90 lbs. and 105 lbs.)
    Hollow-weave pattern, 12-carrier

    Comments:
    Both lines are well made and turned in very good strength results. One consequence of a line "over-testing" is that you will get less of it on the spool than a Spectra line that does not over-test. A key reason to know the ABS of a line is so that you can trade-off strength and line capacity.

    If you splice 25' of white JB 80# hollow weave line on top of the 80# Depthfinder, you can get the benefit of marked line AND strong spliced connections.

    Note also that once you have the JB hollow spliced on, you could splice a second 25' of a different color JB hollow weave and have your first two sections of line be spliceable. Splicing hollow-weave line to hollow-weave line takes literally a few minutes and is 100% strong and very thin.
