Constructional Stretch

[Matthew Sebring]

Is there a readily available resource which includes the constructional stretch of the more common high modulus lines? I'm always amazed by the amount of set I can get out of a piece of amsteel.

Constructional stretch on most braids is roughly 1%. On a heat stretched braid such as Donaghys Ocean 12 HS or Dynex Dux it is less because most of the constructional stretch is removed in the post braiding heat stretching process.
If you have put in an eye you will have to allow for that to set too. Good luck

Been on this site all morning and for the life of me can't find how to start a new thread? Any help for a slow learner?
