# test on the through wires
« on: February 08, 2011, 09:13:58 AM »
Hey Salty what is the test strength on the .062 through wire? Do you (or anyone else) know if the tail wrap diminishes the strength like a knot in line or rope would? Never had any problems, just trying to understand some of the forces going on at the crucial times. thanks guys.

ALOT more than you can exert with the drag on a fishing reel. Unless you horse the crap out of the wire too many times then it gets extremely brittle and will shear.
