Great Rudd/terryk, just bought a pole to have a bash with and know zilch about elastics.

Rudd, or anyone, any chance of putting together a chart covering the majority of line diameters to breaking strains. I've just bought, via mail order, some method rigs for the summer and they're tied to 0.18 and 0.20 line. This doesn't mean much to me. I've tried a search, but no luck. Thanks in advance.

I'd also take into consideration the state of the "swim" or "peg" you're fishing too

Terry, trouble is 2lb line is 2lb line regardless of diameter, 0.10mm line is 0.10mm line regardless of breaking strain.

 

here are some specs from ultima

Rudd, thanks for the info. I appreciate what you say regarding diameters. I just needed an indication of the range of BS. Thanks
