The fishing line test is measured in pounds (lbs). The higher the poundage, the stronger the fishing line. For example, a 12-pound fishing line can withstand a weight of 12 pounds or less without breaking.

Fishing line is typically measured in a pound test. This term is derived from the weight that a given line can support before breaking. For example, a fishing line that is rated as a 10-pound-test can support a weight of up to 10 pounds before breaking.

The two most common tests for monofilament fishing lines are the breaking strength and knot strength.

The breaking strength is how much weight the fishing line can hold before breaking, while the knot strength is how strong the knot is between the fishing line and the hook or lure.

Both tests are important to consider when choosing a fishing line, as you want a line that has a high breaking strength and a strong knot.
