1.10mm Kelvar + Syn Gut in Black Ace 98

After getting tired of the constant need to restring the "snappy" fishing line, I thought of using Kevlar to give myself a "stringing break".

I got hold of a pack of 1.10mm aramid for the mains and paired it up with syn gut.




Playtest:
- Kevlar usually has a break-in period of about an hour or two where it stretches very marginally. Thereafter, it stabilises until it breaks or gets restrung. 
- I was looking forward to this but was sorely disappointed. It lasted less than 30 minutes of play before snapping!
- Those 30 minutes played stiff as a board - powerless and spinless.
- I may need to re-test this.
