zbigbadaaron Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I plan on getting some suffix elite I was wondering is this line good like: cast easy, sensitive, and strong. Quote
Jake. Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 It's my favorite mono line that I have tried. It casts great and has good abrasion resistance. It is a monofilament and has a good amount of stretch, so it isn't as sensitive as flourocarbon or braided lines. Another option is Sufix Seige which is stronger and more abrasion resistant but has a little more memory and doesn't cast quite as well as Elite. Quote
bigmountaineer Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 You can find a multitude of good reviews on it, but it comes down to what you like. It's good and casts far. Check out tackletour.com and look up line reviews they reviewed it. Quote
Fish Fast Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I have yet to try a better mono out there. It is tough yet very manageable. I like the way they wind their line on the spools. It seems to have less memory than most monos. It is definitely going to be more stretchy than fluoro though. I plan on using the 12# elite again on my topwater setup this year (which I also crank with at times). I told myself I was gonna try the yo-zuri hybrid (ultra soft) this year on my other two baitcasters. I hope it's as good as they say it is, otherwise, I am going back to my sufix elite! Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 11, 2009 Super User Posted March 11, 2009 Sufix doesn't have a bad line! Quote
bigmountaineer Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Here's to me hoping the Braid is as good as the Elite. Quote
basser89 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Sufix doesn't have a bad line! Exactly! Here's to me hoping the Braid is as good as the Elite. I'm confident you'll love it! I've been using Suffix Braid on my spinning rods for a couple years now and just switched up to braid on one of my flippin sticks too! Quote

Redhed Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 i used both in 14lb (elite and seige) and yes its very strong but next time i would go with something in lest diameter. the 14lb for me had bad memory and was stiff. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 11, 2009 Super User Posted March 11, 2009 Suffix Elite is a good monofilament. There are a number of good monofilaments but if this is the one you choose I don't think you will be disappointed. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 11, 2009 Super User Posted March 11, 2009 Treat it with KVD L&L as soon as you spool it up. Its great line. So is Siege. In fact, the fish in my avatar was caught on 8# Siege and a 4# FC leader. Quote

I've noticed that Elite has some memory in COLD temps and after treating my 14#, the memory issue was gone! Quote

MA1232 Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I plan on getting some suffix elite I was wondering is this line good like: cast easy, sensitive, and strong. What weight are you looking to get? I just pick up two 17lbs elite at local Target for $6.24 each. Suffix has a $6 mail-in rebate for 2 spools. http://www.sufix.com/downloads/coupons/sufix_2009_coupon.pdf now, I'm wondering if 17lbs is a little too much for baitcaster setup. Quote
fivesixone Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 If you're using spinning gear, I prefer Siege over Elite. Casts easier, stronger, and less memory for me at least. Francho, were you fishing really, really clear water? I see no need for a leader at all using the green Siege line... I'm interested! :-? Quote
