It depends on the weight of the fish you are trying to catch. Lbs refers to the breaking strength of the line. A line rated 6 lbs should not break untill 6 pounds of pressure on the line. So a line rated 20 lbs should not break untill 20 pounds of pressure. The knot used reduces the strength of the line. Certain knots are stronger than others. Using 6 lbs test line, you can catch bigger fish than 6 pounds. You set the drag on your reel so when the drag is set, you can still pull line out without breaking the line. A big fish will get worn out pulling on your drag, and the rod will help you tire out the fish. The world record for Black Marlin on 6 lbs test line is 735 lbs 3 oz. So, there is no clearcut answer. If you are going to catch fish 5 to 20 lbls, then 5 to 10 lb test would be good.

Make sure the description is the weight you want. I have purchased both size and have never had a problem getting the correct size. They may have just pulled a picture from the internet.

The website gives you a pretty good measuring tool; but an overall rule of thumb is your pre-preg size (I'm normally a small so I ordered a small).

I am not buying the hype of expensive test kits. I have always used the cheaper kits and have never had any issues. There are instances where you need to be as close as possible to an exact reading but I've found close enough is good enough. Go cheaper in this case.

it is adjustable metric to standard ... I prefer standard lb,s ounce's and measurement accuracy is ounces, no lower scale ... hope this helps. fyi I have been happy with my scale

The only thing I can tell you is you have to set the program first then weigh in with no socks on. You have to be bare foot for the other readings to work. I hope this helps.

Brand does not matter as long as your brand will carry that weight line. Line weight should be in your instruction manual.

Mine didn't. My requirements aren't stringent (postal packages), so I just go with their cal. If you have a more stringent requirement, you should probably buy at least one other cal weight at the middle of the range you expect your specimens to fall. One more would give you a clue about linearity.

I had a full size which was longer and wider than it should be. Are you sure that you're not expecting extra-long twin. The internet will give you accurate measurements for twin, then you can measure your Signature against that.

About 3-4 inches is all you need but you'll want to try to get the middle of your sample if possible

Having never tried to measure a one pound pull I can't answer your question, however I feel that this instrument is not one to choose for such measurements. I measure 5 pound triggers six or eight times and then take the average and feel that I am within a half pound.

If memory serves, about an inch and a half to 1 3/4 long. I can pull one off tomorrow and measure if it is a critical measurement.

Call Kolpin, they will be able to tell you for sure or not. If they do not know off thier head they may have you take a few measurments. Hope this helps.
