[QUOTE="SeaFaring, post: 442416, member: 22876"] I think the reason this is so hard is that even if you limit yourself to a specific type of line, say, nylon monofilament, there is enough variation among manufacturers that specifying x yards of y lb test will have errors that piss people off. The different companies use different resins and manufacturing processes, so a certain 14 lb mono may be significantly thinner than another. By specifying capacity in diameters, reel makers wash their hands of this problem and leave it to anglers to sort out what they need. The only real way to solve the problem is to pick the specific line you want to use in the lb test you need (my most recent line acquisition was 4lb Trilene XL), look up the diameter, and compare that to the reel specs.
