info on lead core line

watt dose the weight on lead core stand for would that mean 45# test ran deeper than 27#test?

18 and 27 are all that I know of. Again the actual lead is the same size but the 18 and 27 number is just he thickness of the sheath around the lead. Some feel the 27 should get you deeper because they thought the lead was bigger/heavier. Some feel the 18 should get you deeper because its the same size lead and weight just a thinner diameter overall line. I agree with the 18 will actually go deeper theory but also you can fit more on a reel if you got a tight fit.

I thought 18# and under were once size lead with 27# and 36# another size larger lead.

Run the 18 lb fullcore with a 20 foot leader of 20 lb mono or flourocarbon and u will catch plenty of fish.

Ditto is correct for the heavier weight lines. The stronger test is created with the dacron sheath and increases overall diameter, which creates water resistance and causes the heavier weights to run shallower. The lead inside is the same for anything 18# and heavier. Anything lighter than 18# has a smaller diameter lead inside of it. There are only two sizes for the lead inside of leadcore line.

I'm pretty sure the pound test is only what the actual braided line is, the lead inside weighs the same regardless of poundage of the braid so the lower poundage should actually go deeper. I would look at the Suffix 832 lead core as it's even thinner and is supposed to go down 7' per color which puts it in the same range as copper.
