BUYER BE AWARE OVER RATED STRENGTH RAITINGS ON BRAID LINES & FAKE FLUOROCARBON , DO THE TESTS

[mefixu5]

MOST OF THE CHEAPER BRAID FISHING LINE ON EBAY IS FALSELY ADVERTISED. BY OVER RATING THEIR LINE CAPACITY,

I VE BOUGHT & TESTED ALL THE BRAID THAT I HAVE PURCHEST & ALL THE BRAID MY 2 SONS HAVE BEEN BUYING.

SINCE LOOSING FISH DUE TO LINE FAILURE ON BOTH BRAIDED & FLUOROCARBON LINES.

THEY ARE OVER RATED BY OVER HALF WHAT THEY CLAIM TO BE.

EG, 100LB LINE IS SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT 100LBS OF WEIGHT!! SIMPLE ENOUGH, ISNT IT,

I VE TESTED NO LESS THAN 15 DIFFERENT BRAIDED LINES & 12 FLUOROCARBON LINES FOR STRENTH & THE RESULTS ARE SHOCKING ALL OF THEM, DONT COME ANYWHERE NEAR THE STRENTH ADVERTISED

100LB RATED LINE ONLY SUPPORTS BETWEEN 39 -46LBS

40LB RATED LINE ONLY SUPPORTS BETWEEN 17 -19LBS

30LB RATED LINE ONLY SUPPORTS BETWEEN 12-14LBS

& SO ON.. BOTH BIN BRAIDED & FLUOROCARBON LINES

PLEASE TEST YOUR NEXT PURCHASE, BY SIMPLY TRYING TO SUPPORT WEIGHTS EQUALL TO THE LINE RATING YOU BOUGHT,,

IF YOU GOT A 50LB BRAID OR FLUOROCARBON LINE, TIE IT TO A WEIGHT OF 50LB & TRY TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT.

IF RATING IS CORRECT IT SHOULD SUPPORT THE WEIGHT,

WHEN YOU DO THIS TEST, YOU WILL NOTICE THE LINE WILL BREAK & YOUR 50LB LINE WOULD BE LUCKY TO SUPPORT 22LBS. UNDER HALF THE STRENGHT ADVERTISED

THATS FRAUD, RIGHT THERE,  THAT COULD BE CAUSING YOU TO LOSE YOUR CATCH!!

YOU SHOULD DEMAND A REFUND..

ALSO TEST YOUR FLUOROCARBON FOR STENGTH THE SAME WAY..

BUT ALSO DO THE BURN TEST. TO SEE IF IT IS ACTUALLY FLUOROCARBON. OR YOUR GETTING RIPPED OFF, & PAYING 5 TIMES TO MUCH FOR JUST A MONO LINE

PUT A FLAME TO THE END OF YOUR LINE, IF IT CATCHES A LIGHT OR BURNS VERY EASY, ITS PROBALLY NOT FLUOROCARBON, & JUST MONO.

FLUOROCARBON DOESNT IGNITE INTO FLAME, IT SORT OF MELTS INTO A BALL & GOES BLACKISH MUCH SLOWER THAN MONO.

SO BUYER BE AWARE.

IF YOUR PRODUCT FAILS THE WEIGHT TEST OR THE FIRE TEST.

DEMAND A REFUND, YOUR BEING RIPPED OFF. I HAVE BEEN AGAIN & AGAIN WITH BRAID V& FLUOROCARBON.

ONLY BY TESTING & DEMANDING REFUNDS FROM THESE SELLERS SELLING FAKE & OR MISREPRESENTED ITEMS.

CAN WE SEE THE END OF THESE SELLERS, SELLING THEIR SUBSTANDARD OR EVEN FRAUDULENT WHARES TO PEOPLE BUYING & SPENDING THEIR MONEY IN GOOD FAITH.

I LD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE ELSE DOING TESTS ON THESE PRODUCTS, ALSO ABOUT TESTED GOOD PRODUCT.

IF THERE IS ANY ON LINE

CHEERS

Sigh...So many places to fish, so little time!

I've fished all along the NSW coast - particularly from Forster-Tuncurry northwards - and love it all!  Trouble is, She Who Must Be Obeyed loves the Gold Coast more!

[i-love-my-sheep]

Who cares what SWAMBO thinks, it's not about her LOL!!! Why would she want to live on the Gold Coast and be invaded by those wretched schoolies every year? I know it's only a few weeks a year, but it's enough to turn me off ever living there. That and the cost of living 😄

[cq_tech]

Don't forget the appalling crime rate, either. My mother retired to the Gold Coast and could only tolerate it for 18 months before heading north to Yeppoon, a place she absolutely loved until she passed in 2009.

I only live a 20-minute drive from the GC but I flatly refuse to go there and haven't set eyes on the place for the last 10-12 years or so. It's loud, overpriced, gaudy, and the beaches are all stuffed as well.

[evil_akuma_2002]

Perhaps I should be more specific!

When I say the Gold Coast, I'm actually encompassing the area from roughly Tweed Heads, to around Coomera. Not too specific, I know, but the general area is where I'm alluding to. and when we stay, usually at Burleigh Heads, the atmosphere's a lot more laidback.

We've been there at the same time as Schoolies, and again during the Grand Prix - and by avoiding the glitter and lights of Surfers itself, still managed a quiet and relaxing break. There are certain areas between Burleigh and Tweed I could easily see myself retiring!

And if I want a peaceful existence, then SWMBO...must be obeyed!

this post seams to be a fishing show  can you help me.

this was on tv a while ago ,and its hard to believe, a couple were out fishing on a boat when the girls ring fell of her finger into the water , they fish all the time , 2 years later they caught a fish as they gutted it ,bingo the ring was inside the fish, my question is can a ring last that long in a fishes gut, then what would the odds  of catching that fish be anyway.

I reckon I'd have to call B/S on that one, Joe - great plot for a TV show, but in reality...? A bit like all those old ghosthunting shows they had on - lots of film clips and things that go bump in the night, but very, very little hard evidence.

However, as gold doesn't corrode in seawater or stomach acids, being a 'noble' metal, and any stones would also have similar properties, it is possible - just highly improbable.

It's a bit like the old pub tale of two fishos, one claiming to have caught a 50-pound snapper. His mate, without blinking, stated he'd caught an old ship's lantern - still alight!

When his mate called him on it, he agreed to blow out the lantern, if his mate shaved 30 pounds off his snapper!

[joethenuts]

it sounded fishy to me lol

[lane-ends]

Be more of a worry if you found a ring in a sharks guts, as you would wonder what it was attached to when it went in there.

As it is gold wouldn't corrode like fishing hooks, it wouldn't pass through the guts of anything but a big fish, and it wouldn't kill the fish. as for the odds of same people catching that fish same two years later pfffft

[joethenuts]

love your post , i mean could you imagine the odds wow
