What strength kite line should I use?

My 1,383rd kite video. I get asked a lot of questions about kite lines, but often there's no real answer. Conditions vary considerably, but if you use a line suitable for the strongest winds it may cause too much weight and drag if you want to fly in a light breeze. Ideally, you need to match your line to the conditions, but unless you have a lot of kites then it's not always practical to have multiple lines. Although the pull quoted here for these kites is much lower than the recommended line strengths, it's better to be safe than sorry - a lost kite is not a good outcome! Knots are the weakest part of a line, by far so keep them to a minimum and research the best ones to use.
