B-50 or B-55 ?

[TX FLY CASTER]

What are the main differences of these materials?

[Pat B]

B-55 is slightly smaller diameter than B-50 but other than that, not much.

Most users will say, and I agree, B55 stretches a little less. B55 is all I use to make strings for myself.

I find B55 slightly larger diameter per strand more then B50.I use a smaller diameter serving on a 14 strand B55 over a 14 strand B50 for the same nock fit.
