Sufix 832 Advanced Superline Braid - 150 yards

Braided line is the finest fishing innovation since canned beer; however, it's not without tradeoffs. I've fished Power Pro for years, have been relatively happy, and just accepted its flaws...Then I discovered Sufix 832! Oh baby, BABY!!! I couldn't be happier if I'd discovered Kate Upton, giftwrapped, beneath my Christmas tree!Is this line perfect? Of course not; nothing is. But this is the BEST line. Compared to PP S8, this really is thinner, stronger, rounder, smoother, looser, more water-resistant, and less prone to color fade, fraying, or line memory.Common (though unnecessary) concerns about this, and braided line in general, include:#1 - Lighter line (< 20-lb.) is weaker than same-strength mono#2 - Casts poorly (i.e., too stiff, prone to memory and/or birds' nests)#3 - Frays easily, doesn't retain its strength#4 - Color fades quickly#1 - Many anglers upgrade from mono to the same-strength braid, fail to use the appropriate drag and/or leader, set the hook like an epileptic rodeo clown, then curse the line after getting snapped. Well, unlike stretchy mono, braids can't dissipate the force of impact. It need not be a problem though. Read on...But why bother with low-strength braid anyway? 20-lb. braid has the same diameter as 6-lb. mono, and fishing for anything too small or skittish for that is as purposeless as a Rubik's cube in the hands of a colorblind arthritic. TIP: Use stronger line. (It's still much thinner than mono; and, that's the whole point of braids, right?) Use a leader and/or set the hook gently (a subtle wrist flick will do). Loosen the drag until the hook's set.#2 - Most braided lines are stiffer than mono; however, Sufix 832 is smoother, rounder, and less stiff than other brands. As a result, it casts much better. Also, the addition of the gore fiber helps reduce water absorption thereby keeping wet line lighter. TIP: Condition the line with Ardent Line Butter. When casting, lightly feather the line and close the bail manually.#3 - Many braided lines lose a fair amount of strength once knotted and/or frayed; although, compared to other braids, Sufix 832 retains its strength far better and is much less prone to fraying. (Sufix claims to be 3x better than other brands' knotted line strength. Not sure about that, but it IS noticeably better.) TIP: Re-tie often and at the first sign of fraying.#4 - Sure, braided line will fade eventually. So what!? Seriously, it's fishing line, not an appendage; it can be replaced. TIP: Use a dark color (lo-vis green), condition with Line Butter, and replace every 1-2 year(s). Once faded, strip the line and respool from the other end (i.e., faded portion now at bottom of reel and the previously buried/unfaded portion now at top of the spool.)Tips for common inshore Florida saltwater species:Use Sufix 832 80-lb. line with a long 100 or 150-lb. leader for tarpon and kingfish; shock and wire leaders for sharks and baracuda. Use Sufix 832 40 or 50-lb. line for snook, redfish, bonefish, black drum, and jack crevalle; 20 or 30-lb. line for pompano, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, flounder, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, ladyfish, sea trout, etc.Avoid swivels and lead; don't use larger-than-necessary hooks. If fishing at night or in non-clear water, attach braided line directly to hook. For plugs, attach to non-swivel duo-lock snap; attach snap to lure. In clear water, use a short flouro leader with a small non-slip loop knot for both live bait and lures.Good luck and congratulations on graduating to Sufix 832! :)Update: While bass fishing a heavily wooded shore recently, I caught an annoying-ass treefish. (Who hasn't?) Unable to finesse the 4/0 hook free, I grabbed my Aftco gloves, wrapped the 30-lb. line around my hand, and horsed the hook loose. To my amazement, the hook actually broke mid-shaft... but the line held!

Excellent braid fishing line. Line diameter is smaller than other brands traditional braid and twice as tough. Line is abrasion proof to a great extent. I use 30 lb line on my bait cast reels for muskie, northern pike, walleye, and lake trout and have never had a line break. Buy and use with confidence to help you reel in your trophy.

Excellent braid, casts nicely, smooth, will buy again.

I was unsure of price but the quality is good so far. It casts easy and looks nice.

I have been using 832 for years in strengths from 6 to 30 pound test. It has never failed me. I started using it in casting reels and have over the last few years started using it on my spinning gear. I am fully satisfied with it in both applications. I typically use the low-vis green but also use the hi-vis lime green in light weights for panfish, which allows me to detect light bites through line movement even when I can't feel the hit in the rod. This line is limber and comes off the reel easily and I haven't found it to suffer from wind knots.

Great quality braid at a fair price. I use dark green on nearly all of my reels.

Suffix is always safe

Love this line

Good line running it on my Musky rigs

Arrived on time. Just what we needed
