Struggling to understand stretch and strength in fishing line

[QUOTE="Tangled, post: 6264348, member: 670316"] I'm an angler and having extensive discussions on a fishing forum about the properties of monofilament fishing line. There are two forms: various nylons - mainly we think PA6 and PA66 - and fluorocarbon. Our experience and 'garage testing' of these lines tell us that fluorocarbon while it can have the same diameter and tensile strength is also what I call 'brittle' - it breaks with shock with a much lower force. Eg The difference seems to be around stretch, deformity and elasticity - fluorocarbon though capable of having the same amount of stretch seemingly reacts badly to sudden shock. But when I'm researching this I get lost very quickly not being a material's scientist. Can anyone here help explain what is happening? [/QUOTE]
