I'm looking at my catalog from Nylonnet Co.and it looks to me that both are
woven with the ace having round holes and the delta having square holes.I
can't see any advantage to one over the other than the difference in
strength.The only reason I get delta when I have seines made is that ace
only comes in 22-24 lb.test and I can get 1/8th delta in 35 lb. test.
