Suffix 832???

[fsuboy99]

I wanna get some at dicks later is it better then power pro or should I just stick with power pro ahah and if power pro is better then suffix 832 then what color should i use for large mouth fishing

[iabass8]

it's a matter of personal preference. i like suffix 832. moss green is a good all around color.

[Cgrinder]

I'm running yellow with a leader. I dig it.

[MediumHeavy]

Sufix 832 is pretty good, but prefer PP Super 8 Slick. I use 30lb in yellow and color the last few feet with a green sharpie.

sufix 832 is the best braid made bar none.i have used a ton of braids since 1993 so I know of what I speak . I would put 50 lb on a baitcaster and 10 or 20 on a spinning rod.i use moss green with no leaders.

I tried it on your advice. This is GREAT braid.

 

However, I have had the opportunity to use Kanzen and like it better,

especially in some of the lighter lines.

I use regular power pro and 832. I cant really tell a difference when im fishing. The 832 might lay a little better on the spool, but not so much that I can really make a solid case for one or the other. I use whatever green color they offer

[Capt.Bob]

All I use, 832 is my choice.

[rockchalk06]

I used it for one season and really liked it. I ran 30# and no issues what so ever. My only complaint was the noise. I am probably too picky about it, but I preferred the Power Pro Slick for less noise.

i like hi viz yellow PP w/ a fluoro leader b/c I can easily see the yellow braid run sideways during a side run bite.  never had any issues.

[5fishlimit]

I've used both PP and 832,and I prefer the 832 because it seems to hold up better against the zebra mussels I have to deal with in Lake Erie. Both are good braided lines though.

The 832 is a bit noisier like rockchalk06 says, but I'm OK with that.

Just about every major brand I've used has proven itself for my kind of fishing.  It's mostly PP as I can buy it anywhere at any time of the day.  I don't worry about the strength as most major brands are breaking 40-50% over the label, knot holding ability is something to take notice of, a double wrapped improved clinch holds like a vice.  I use 10, 15 and 20# lines, works well for fish that I target.  Just given the few different preference opinions on this thread alone, I don't see how any claim can be made that one is the best, it's only line.

Dodge,

 

How did your experiment go with FC on your spinning reel?

gave it up. back. to 832.tired of wasting money on line.sticking with 832 and no leaders.less line issues and I don't believe fish are line shy.over years of fishing I have come to the conclusion they will either bite or they won't.

[einscodek]

I prefer 832 over Slick 8 but they're both pretty good..

My setup with Slick 8 shows frays and my 832 setup much less so..

grab a milwaukee ice and join him:

Not a bad video.  I was wondering if he was going to try a different braid.  I would much rather he had held the Performance braid in the same manner as the Slick 8 for a more realistic comparison.  Obviously the Performance did much better, but should have done even better yet if he had held it with the same tension as PP.  And  the Performance was older line.

I just bought a spool  Going to give it a run sunday I believe.

no way 832 is noisier than old powerpro.

No one ever said it was.

[Team9nine]

Use them both. Have a couple reels spooled with 832 right now, and several more with PP. Both work fine - can't go wrong with either. However, I lean toward PP overall. Haven't been able to completely put a finger on it, but something about the way 832 handles/fishes that I just haven't got comfortable with yet. Might just be me... 

 

And color is irrelevant in most cases. Use whatever you prefer; something bright if you're a line watcher, or something smoke, red or green if not. In most instances, the fish could care less.

I bought a box of 832 a couple months ago because walmart was out of the regular power pro in the 10# size.i  personally don't notice much difference between the two except the 832 was a few dollars more a spool.I have to admit i am not too anal when it comes to things like fishing line so for me i am happy with using the cheaper power pro.

I like 832 Ghost for everything. I color the last couple feet also with a marker but I use a black Spike it garlic marker the night before. The line then fades to a nice ugly reddish brown that matches lake bottoms nicely. Works well in fairly clear water grass also. I tie FC Sniper leaders to spinning and baitcasting in really clear open water. But it has to be really clear and open. I have not had a problem with this braid coloring in most water conditions. I think the white ghost is very visible above water and more hidden than yellow under the water. Plus no coloring wearing off on stuff.

[dodgeguy]

5fishlimit said it was.it's right in the quote in my post.

[einscodek]

Lo Viz Green is best for stained or murky waters but those colors wears off the line too fast..

If yer worried about braid visibility, use a fluoro or mono leader on 832 .. make sure the knots are strong tho.

 

I think visibility is an issue with braids so I toss on a fluoro leader.

On one of my setups, I have straight 832 50# with no fluoro and when I toss subsurface swimbaits, I usually only get bit on entry..

that seems to tell me somewhat that the fish may see the braid and get shy after initial entry..

[KDW96]

Both PowerPro and 832 are great lines. And 8lb green mono is just as visilble as braid.......................
