Sufix 832 Braid Ghost

[5/0]

Anyone out there use this braid? Thinking visibility issues here, both fisherman and fish. I’ve looked at some of the opinions posted here on this topic, but they appear to be directed at green, yellow, and red.

How about white?

    If you put the lure where the fish is, line color is no issue. If you put the lure where there are no fish, line color is still no issue. Since you're in California, you might have clear water conditions that really matter. Then again .... maybe not.   jj

Since its white you can color it any color you want with a waterproof marker. I don't really think the fish care about line visibility. I've fished flouro and been outfished by guys with braid and I've fished braid with other guys fishing flouro when the bite was tough and neither of us got bites more than the other. I think putting the lure in front of a fish who is willing to bite is more important than what color your line is.Sufix 832 is probably the best braid out there.

I have use 10lb white braid for awhile and not really a fan of it. I do catch some fish on it (straight braid) but still prefer using with leader especially with finesse lure. I think I’m more confident with chartreuse than white. The color that I’m using, 30lb dark green and chartreuse for bass, 8-10lb yellow, red and blue (crappie).

And yes I found I like Sufix 832 the best, brad I used, PP original, PP super slick, daiwa j-braid Sufix 832, Pline Spectrex and a few cheap brands.

Great stuff for the failing eyes! I cant see anything and previously used hi vis grren and yellow but the ghost really stands out and never fades.

Line color does matter in clear and stained water.  Braid provides you better sensitivity, and using a high vis color helps pick up bites when you use a Fluro leader.  It’s also good for Carolina rigs using a mono leader.  Braid can also be used for frogging and fast moving top water baits.  
 

using these guidelines I use very little braid.

I use both neon yellow/green and ghost braid - tie a fluorocarbon leader with both.  Both lines provide good visibility above the water.  I will say this though... on those really bright mid summer days, the neon colors almost glow in a way that distort them IMO... hard to explain.  While the ghost seems more true and easy to see, judge depth, etc. Again my opinion but both seem to work well...

I use braid on everything.  I only use a leader on my crankbait and jerkbait rods, more to keep the braid from tangling with the hooks more than anything else.  I've never had a problem that I'm aware of with fish seeing my braid and hightailing it away. 

That being said, I've tried many different colors and they all tend to turn into "Ghost" when they fade......lol

I tried some white braid in the past (Powerpro?) and it didn't stay white for long.  As soon as I fished it stained water, it turned brown/green.   It wasn't a big deal but I went back to the traditional green tint when it was time to change.

I use this braid in 30lb on my silver max baitcaster, i like it but i prefer power pro braid. It casts well but overall power pro is  better (my opinion). I use moss green and white

I love this line ..... easy on the eyes, know when it's being moved to do a hard hookset.
