Re: Breaking Cable

I appreciate all of the comments. What I'm really wondering is, why does cable (spectra, fishing cable, etc.) quote a test strength in pounds, rather than foot-pounds? Obviously the same weight bouncing on the cable will break it easier than a static load. And it's the dynamic breaking strength that I'm really interested in.

In our tests, we also noticed that the cable tended to break where it was tied to something else.
