Nylon overview: Diameter and sensitivity

Stretch can soften long-distance fine control, but nylon still transmits force. This project's default for precise bottom contact is PE or suitable fluorocarbon. Thinner line may reduce drag and bending restriction but sacrifices margin. Short leaders cannot be judged like a whole spool of main line.

Nylon overview

Plain nylon, copolymer nylon and fluoro-coated nylon differ in formulation or surface structure. Fluoro-coated nylon is not 100% fluorocarbon, and copolymer is not one universal recipe.
