as there is roughly 2.5 cm in an inch80cm must be about 10 tons breaking strain. /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

I think it is probably meant to be .008cm or .08mm???/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

Sit down and compose yourself Geoff, 80cm would be a pretty stiff hooklink, would look a bugger with a 18s hook
