« on: July 02, 2010, 09:30:07 AM »
Just how abrasive resistant is Dacron compared to nylon?
 
Hope this is the right forum to post thingies like this.

As in to use as a windon or as a main line ???

Nylon is much more abrasion resistant than braid IMHO.

Agree, dacron is super strong and super abbrasive, but just not practical as main line in my opinion.

What I was thinking is why not use Dacron as windon leader without nylon. Reefman explained to me that it is to soft to cast.
Thanks
