I've been using Daiwa Infinity Duo for years and found it great as it breaks at its given rating, is supple, low diameter and has little or no memory.
However as I've had a weekend off fishing due to "family commitments" I was bored so decided to trial the Daiwa against a rig line I bought.
Daiwa 8lb broke at a reasonable pull.
Daiwa 10lb broke slightly higher - not scientific I agree
The diameters are 8lb = 0,235mm and 10lb = 0,260mm
The hooklength I trialled them against was Preston Reflo Xceed, 7.7lb and 0.205mm diameter.
The Preston took forever to break and was considerably stronger than the Daiwa (I feel sorry for anyone with Xceed as a pole rig material!)
Now I need to find a new reel line in either 8lb or 10lb BS.
Any recommendations?
