Here are the variables that are in this experiment: Line Power: Equal both at 10 lbs Rod Lenght: Equal both the exact same 76 rods made by the same manufacturer with the same power rating Reels: Equal both lines were on the same sized Shimano Stradic Ci4 reel Lures: Equal both were 1/2 oz teardrop shaped weights so that wind-friction is minimized Casting Force As equal as possible without a $$$$ machine Line Diameter: Not equal but thats ok because it is part of the reason why braid has an advantage Note: I did 5 casts with each line for the first round before switching the weights and doing 5 more casts to make sure that the weights used were not impacting the results
