Suffix advance

[Bill Kowalski]

Has a anyone tried out the new Sufix advance mono?  I bought spool of 10 lbs to try on some finesse.

I've had the 10lb spooled up on a Tat SV for the past few months. I haven't had any weird breakoffs. Stuck a few big one's too over that time. I have no complaints.

I have the 14lb Advance on a Curado 200I and currently use for a jig and pig.  Works well so far, but we are just getting into the season and spawn on the Potomac. 

 

Oops, I had  a brain hiccup, Not a jig and pig, but a swim jig and it works very well.

So... any reports if it is actually “lower stretch?”

[Tlauz]

I just put it on three spinning reels, so hopefully, I like it.

Please report your findings back, I’ve thought of picking some up too - but curious what others think...

[dodgeguy]

works great on baitcast.cant vouch for spinning as i dont use spinning.really casts far and surface is really smooth.extremely sensitive for a mono line due to lower stretch.

Yes, it does strech less than the average mono and i feel that it transmits vibration better making it better for bottom contact applications. It´s a very good line.

I have 12lb Advance on a Chronarch CI4+ and 12lb Big Game on a Curado K. Both are on the same OB2 MHF 7' 1" rods. The Big Game feels quite a bit more stretchy to me when fighting a fish. It could be, partly, because the Curado is so smooth, nearly fluid coupled or belt driven, that I'm making this judgement? Regardless, I think it's reasonably sensitive line for what it is.

Thanks, wondering if you have used Yo-Zuri Hybrid at all and if so how it might compare.  Thx

I've been using the 10lb. In green on one of my jerkbait rods this spring.

Good stuff,  casts well ,ties a good knot . Hard to measure stretch but it doesn't seem excessive. I'm going to get some in 6 for the ned rig rod.

I've been using 10# Sufix Advanced on a baitcasting rod for the past 3 weeks and really like it so far. I use this rod for bottom contact presentations in a shallow rocky river and have 2 needs for this: sensitive and abrasion-resistant.

 

I was surprised to find this line as sensitive as any fluorocarbon I've used on this rod! Every mono I've tried has been lacking in sensitivity. I also think it stretches less than any 10# mono or fluoro I've used. I've been bank fishing, and my "not so scientific" data shows when I get snagged and have to break off, I can do it without backing up. I always have to back up with mono and fluoro to stretch the line enough to break it.

I haven't.

   Got some 14 lb. this AM, fished with it for 2-3 hours. It's fairly stiff line, with the hard sheen everyone describes. Knots are not easy, at least not for me. Once made and checked, however, they hold well. Casting distance is a little better than Big Game 12 lb., which is the same diameter. Not much, though. I was using a 7'1" MH/F Mojo Bass rod, and a Curado 200i. Sensitivity was nothing to write home about, but it never is with non-braid lines. So not great, and not lousy.

   This line seems so .... middle of the road. The only thing it might have going for it is that hard sheen, which might indicate abrasion resistance. Where  I fished, I couldn't check that.

   I'll fish with it a few more days and see how well I like it. For now, however, it's not better overall than Big Game, just different.      jj

It is performing well for me. Buy it by diameter not break rating. Pulled 2 Potomac 5lbers wrapped around dock pilings with 0 damage. 

[diehardbassfishing]

Tried 14 lb. on two baitcasters. Took it off almost as fast as I put it on. Way to stiff, and the memory coils made it impossible to fish lightly weighted soft plastics. And the claim of "X" percent less stretch claim is bogus - from good reviewer and experience. Baaah.

   Fished it 5 days now. Basically, everything I said before applies; it's hard, fairly stiff and is similar to most of your average mono lines in other respects. I simply wanted to test abrasion resistance. From what I can see, it's reasonably resistant. Better than Big Game, that's for sure. Big Game had 2 nicks, forcing me to retie. Advance had none.

   One other thing I noticed about this line. It seems to "fish in". In other words, the stiffness lessens with use. And the memory . which is obvious when you start the day, drops out quicker and quicker each day. Maybe temperature had something to do with it, I don't know. But I like it better now than 5 days ago.

   I've been casting 1/2 to 1 oz. lures. If you go lighter, YMMV. A lot. I don't personally see this as a line for light lures.  jj

I put 8lb green on a Stradic FK 2500 and used Saturday. It casts pretty good but coiled pretty bad and I thought it had quite a bit of stretch. I have been using Smackdown with a leader so that's a hard comparison, but I will use it more to see if I like it any better.

I might have to pick some up.

 

I have been using Sufix Siege and Sufix ProMix and both lines have exceeded my expectations. They perform well above their price range.

[dodgeguy]

Used it last night.pulled in a huge floating section of a tree. Line definitely has far less stretch than mono or flouro. Is also very sensitive and abrasion resistant. I agree it casts better as you use it. It's a great line.

Used again today on pond. Didn’t coil as bad seems like pretty good line but not near as good casting distance as 20 lb Smackdown

So far I don't see any reasons to try it out over Siege which has become my favorite. I'm keeping an eye on this thread, however.

[I'm Blue]

Ive been using it, just because had to buy something. Its fishing line...  havent felt anything hit it yet so no idea,,, seems a bit stiff.
So far still liking my 20 YO Pline original.

I'm the same. I love Siege its awesome, but I'm watching this thread too.

[Log Catcher]

I was going to try this but it is more expensive than Sufix Siege. Siege has been an excellent line for me. I don't want to spend more for something I may or nay not like.
