Which of these lines are the most accurate for diameter?

Ultima distance?
Daiwa tournament?
Sakuma Crystal?
For use in casting.

Ask Gary W. or Yoey they have detail on this.

The snapper don't know where the car park is!

Ultima doesn't exist any longer . Both Ultima and Diawa tent to understate if they say it's .31 it's probably .32.
I have that Suffix is usually bang on .
In all honesty a couple of points either way is going to very little difference.

Until its measured. Surely a line at .32 but measures .30 is not good.
Ultima does not exist? Still readily available overseas.

Some of the casting discussion here shows Sakuma measuring under in the .31 class for 150gm.Ive the 14lb .31 line coming in sakuma crystal going to check on a micro.

Why bother it's only a small part of casting. Anyone can buy the best gear but still be a crap caster.

More the reason for people to take an interest in casting, good gear will make the path to being successful easier surely?

But you can learn and reality is today's super cars are easier to drive than the Mori! LOL.
Same can be said about today's modern rods of say 20 years ago compared to those available today or even more recent models but still need to have that line diameter right.
