PE Fishing Line Diameter Database

Use this PE fishing line diameter database to compare PE braid sizes by brand, model, strength, strand count, and listed diameter. PE size is commonly used on Japanese reels and braid packaging, but actual diameter and breaking strength can vary by manufacturer.

Important: PE size is not the same thing as pound test. PE is mainly a line-size system used for braid diameter and reel capacity estimates. Actual listed diameter can vary by brand, weave, coating, and manufacturing method. For calculator accuracy, use the manufacturer’s listed diameter when available.
