However, the finished product always has a slightly lower tensile strength, for two reasons: Ad1: The cross section of the line does not just contain fibres but also has air pockets between the individual fibres. Ad2: The braiding bends the fibres, this reduces the tensile strength in comparison with the linear tensile strength. After braiding the line has a tensile strength of 290 kg/mm2. Therefore a 0.18mm Dyneema fishing line can reach a maximum breaking strain of 7.4kg. More than this just isn’t possible!
