I'll second the comments on friction of the lines of my 2012 last Gen Soulfly after 3-4 wraps..........sometimes feels like 100 grit sandpaper getting the lines clear....some lines are more slippery than others as previous posters have pointed out to fine fingered fliers.

And yes Jeff, please DO post your line tests.........easy to do with a fish scale for "resistance of pull while twisted" friction test.


Get 10 feet of different types of two lines, Anchor one end(s). Get two trout/salmon fish scales one on each line. Preload lines to XYZ poundage #. Then twist the lines 5 times. Then pull on one of the preloaded scales, and see the addition load amount between different types of lines slippage or "sticktion" numbers.


can you tell I'm an engineer?


If you want, I have 2 digital load cells available with 1000 pound load rating that are accurate to ~+/- 5 pounds accuracy , so lets run some static line tests!
