Have you ever tried testing out the abrasion resistance between leader line and mainline?
I’ve always wondered what the difference is between fluorocarbon leader line and fluorocarbon mainline and whether one would outperform the other on the water.
If the lines are the same material and the same pound test, shouldn’t they work the same on the water?
I use Berkley Vanish leader line for most of my fishing rod setups and wondered whether I could get away with using Berkley Vanish mainline instead.
To determine this, I decided to test whether Berkley Vanish fishing line (leader line or mainline) is more abrasion resistant.
You can see the full test of these lines, including the knot strength of the lines here:

For the abrasion resistance test, I made an oscillation device that simulates fishing line rubbing up against a piling or some kind of rough structure.
The device works by rubbing coarse sandpaper back and forth on the two lines to see which line breaks first.
I attached the lines to two-pound weights which hung below the oscillation rod with the sandpaper — making the two lines taut over the sandpaper.
Check out the full results of this test in the video above.
