On one thread on here there were some syndicates getting their line tested by bailiffs with micrometres.??????

So if that water said 15lb minimum breaking strain and they say that should be 0.35mm,what would happen if I was using fox exocet in 16lb but its only 0.33mm.I have met the requirements on breaking strain but not diameter.They should state diameter not b/strain as the rule

Beats me. Takes all sorts. Good question though.

My syndicates say 0.35 minimum - they reference 15lb as a guide buy No super thin wonder lines. In otherwords its all about diameter

I don't use it for distance as it's a small water , I think 12lb is sufficient for the fish I'm targeting singles , doubles and possibly one or two twenties , yes it's weedy but not excessively . I'm using 11ft baby Ballistas 2.5 tc .I use 15lb for a larger weedier water I fish , different tackle for different waters . I'm sure I used to use 8lb Sylcast when I started fishing for carp , how things have changed .

8lb Sylcast sorrel or Maxima with a shock leader for long distance!
Are you sure?
