Update: Tanner, the pure fishing guy says my elongation numbers are too high. I did a bunch of tests with my clamping system yesterday and I think what is going on is I am getting more stretch in my clamping system than I thought I was. Not a 100% diagnosis i'm waiting to hear back from Tanner if the updated numbers are more in line with what they say.
This has been a fun project for me. It all started because I hate paying a lot of money for fishing line. So I decided to use my experience to build a machine to test fishing line. I'm one guy in a little apartment, building and paying for everything myself. I've spent a significant amount of money on this for sure! I thought since I was paying all this money to build the machine it would be cool to have a simple website to share my results. I'm not a fishing line expert. Tanner from pure fishing has a lot more fishing line knowledge than I do so when he said my numbers were off I wanted to get my numbers closer to his. For obvious reasons he can't give details but I hope he can say if the adjusted numbers I sent him are something pure fishing would agree with. I've been drawing in cad this weekend trying to design a new clamping system that will work with my machine. If it works I will update all my reports.
I have been working on the website to make it better. The database page will have links to each individual report. That should help a lot with finding them.
Fishing line sensitivity. it's obviously very important. How to measure it is perplexing for sure! I've been thinking about trying an accelerometer. Has to be a way to measure it!
