Diameter. That concept worked well enough when all lines were silk, since
the same diameter lines would be roughly the same weight. After plastic
lines took over, you couldn't be quite sure any more, which is why they
eventually established the weight system we use today.

Thanks for the clarification, Bob.

Oddly enough, I just threw out an HCH line last year. Trying to get rid of
my pack rat mentality.

You're not a REAL packrat unless you have a coffee can labeled
"String," and another coffee can, next to it, labeled "String too
short to save."

And maybe a third one, labeled "Undecided."
