Suffix 832

[catchnm]

Anyone using it? Pros and cons please?

I currently use YoZuri Hybrid Ultra Soft. Should I buy the Suffix 832 next time?

You're comparing apples to oranges. 2 completely different types of lines. 832 is a great braid (probably the best I've used) and I highly recommend it. I have no experience with YZH, but it has very good reviews with BR members.

I've been using it on my baitcasters. I'm a braid only guy, so I can't compare it to fluoros or mono. I like it a lot. The best thing I like about it is that I don't notice it. It does what it is supposed to do without any problems or issues. I can think about catching fish and not about my line. I'll keep using it.

I agree,I think the 832 is the best braid that I have fished also!

I like the 832 as well and it happens to be on sale at cabelas right now as well....

I am currently using 832, but not sure how I can compare braid vs. YoZuri ultra soft. 832 probably will last you few seasons, and it is my primarily line right now.

Braid is going to act much different than yozuri. I have found it strengths are for heavy weedy/grassy applications and for frogging. I have used Suffix, Powerpro and Daiwa Samurai. They are ranked in the following order PP < 832 < Samurai. I found a large jump in performance when I switched to samurai. The line is special and is my favorite braid thus far. I do have some seaguar Kanzen that I will be trying out and it is likely going to be a strong competitor with Samurai.

 

Daiwa Samurai is closer to the price range of 832 and for only a few bucks more on eBay you can have a line that I consider superior to 832. For reference, I removed a few hundred yards off a few spools of 832 just so I could convert to samurai. I still have brand new 832 that will not be used, because Samurai is that much better IMHO.

 

On a completely different note, a fluorocarbon will act more similar to Yozuri but will be much better if you are fishing sinking techniques. The line casts great in the wind, does not belly and has great abrasion resistance. For the same price as 832 you can get FC sniper/ Seaguar invizx or abrazx, and for less BPS Fluoro. All of these will give you an overall greater feel as braid transmits sensitivity fantastic, but only on a tight line. Overall feel is higher on Fluoro. Not trying to start a debate, you just opened up the option of choosing a line to replace YZH. I recommend a mid-grade or better FC. I understand it is not for everybody and most people on this forum prefer braid so If you choose braid I would spend the $25 and get Samurai, you won't be disappointed.
