triple fish responded to my email. I sent them my line to test. I'll let you all know what happens. Hi Joe, I am very dissapointed to hear of your testing with our lines. All of our lines are tested several ways in Germany to insure that we are within the specifications (ie diameter, tensile strenght) etc etc of rated lb test. However there are times where mistakes occur in mislabeling which does occasionally happen but not very often. Dave Burkhardt our president would like to take a look at your spools and test them at our warehouse in Clermont, Florida as he needs to see these types of things so that things can be corrected if needed. Again I apologize for your dissapointment. We are very proud of our lines and will do what it takes to make things right. Respectfully, Mike Bucca Triple Fish International, LLC 1240 Commons Court Clermont, FL 34711

no word from triple fish yet. I ran a few more tests today. I retested the seauar flourocarbon line rated 15 lb. test. after several test, it held 10 lbs. twice, breaking after like 10 seconds. is that good? I'm not sure. what do you think? also, just for the hell of it,I tested some powerpro 15 lb test. about 3' in length with a uni to uni in the middle section. the powerpro held for about 1 minute then failed, but not at the knots. I got it to hold with 12.5 lbs. and it looks like it could hold forever. now thats some strong stuff. I wish I could find some leader material with some balls like powerpro. I'll give the p-line a shot before I completly give up on flourocarbon.

I shot them an email. I asked them how they quality control their lines and what kind of tests they use. I'll post answer when I get it.

I just recieved an order from triple fish today. I got 2 spools of flourcarbon line, one 6# and one 8# to use as leader material when using powerpro on those clear days. just for the hell of it I tested the new t.f. lines to see how strong they where by suspending some weights from them. the 6# could only hold 2 to 3lbs and the 8# 4 or 5#. half the time they broke with less weight. allmost all breaks were not at the knots. except for uni to uni knots witch broke at the knots. I also tried some 15# seagar flourcarbon and that held together at only 10# sometimes. I'm very disapointed with these results and won't consider using these lines. maybe i'll try some other brand or maybe use mono for a leader. but not before testing it. what do you guys think?
