Sufix 832 Superline????

[eyedabassman]

I am a big fan of the Sufix line. Can anyone give me any info on the the new Sufix 832 ? line?

[plymouthrockbass]

Id like to hear some info from experience as well. Ive read alot of good things about this line and am thinking about spooling up a few reels with it this spring. Using mostly power-pro, I would be interested in finding something new and better if possible. Skeptical about all the good reviews tho, it seems every company has a product they showcase at icast and that item gets a ton of promotion so people will be persuaded into buying it.

[dodgeguy]

it's supposed to be awesome and it sinks.i've never used it but want to try it.shouldn't be hard to find a braid better than powerpro.diawa and fireline braids and regular sufix braid are all far superior to powerpro.

[plymouthrockbass]

i fished fireline for 3 years and finally switched to power-pro. In my experience fireline is nowhere near as good of a line as power pro. Fireline is far less sensitive and its not strength wasnt close for me either. Now this could be my know tying ability or choice of knot but either way ive had much more success using power pro the past couple years than i did w/fireline

I agree! I have fished power pro and then went to the sufix braid. I like both but the sufix would be my first pick.

I believe dodgeguy was referring to Fireline Braid, not the original Fireline.

[philsoreel]

I was a die-hard powerpro user until I tried 832. I actually like it better than Samurai so far.

fireline braid or fused fireline?i don't think fireline braid has been out for 3 years yet.

[roadwarrior]

Fireline braid is on sale at Dick's, 300 yards for $25, regularly $40.

dodgeguy has been a big fan ever since this line was introduced,

so I am finally giving it a try.

[SirSnookalot]

I use only braid and only spinning for fresh and saltwater, for me any I don't see a whole lot of difference between any of them, I have used 5 or 6 brands. Just recently spooled up with Fins braid, seems ok too.  Mostly use PP because it works well and I can buy it any where any time of day.

[northern basser]

After using PP exclusively I spooled up some 40# 832 right at the end of the season.  I used it all day on one trip.

Right off the spool it didn't seem as limp as PP.  It didn't take long to loosen up though.  All in all I would say it is easily as good as PP and probably better,  but I hate to get ahead of myself on one use.  This spring I will start with both and make that decision.

[eyedabassman]

I fish the Sufix braid. What I would like to know is how the 832 line compares the Sufix braid that has been out for some time?

[dodgeguy]

more strands.rounder.smoother.has 1 gore fiber strand which causes it to sink when most braids float.

[Micro]

shouldn't be hard to find a braid better than powerpro.diawa and fireline braids and regular sufix braid are all far superior to powerpro.

A shoe string is better braid than power pro.

What makes the Sufix lines so great? I understand it has a single strand of gore-tex fiber in it.   I've tested regular Sufix Braid in a glass of water and it rises to the surface pretty quickly.  Wonder how dense gore must be to be able to drag it down.

[A-Jay]

I handled some 832 at a local shop this week.

I seems like this stuff is a thinner diameter than current braids of the same test. I'm planning on spooling it up on a couple of jig rods this spring for a trial run.

Also there is a brief but informative piece on the newest braids written by Doug Stange

in the Winter 2010/2011 In-Fisherman.

I love opinions! World record tuna caught on Power Pro but it's junk..lol

I'm 90% sure Tuf line is the same as power pro, if you wanna save money. In tests, 30Lb power pro breaks at 50 lbs.

breaking strength is not the only property of a line.powerpro was a great line for years just like the model t was a great car.they are both outdated and there are far superior products out there.just because you still love the model t doesn't mean today's cars aren't better.

I have been using suffix performance braid for over a year now. It's my favorite braid at that price point. I picked up some some 20lb 832 braid for my casting combo to use with plastics & small hard baits. The new 832 does a very slow sink. It is very smooth casting & more quiet than regular suffix. It does not bleed color off like most braids & doesn't throw water off either. Much dryer coming back on the reel. I'll probably buy more based on my experience from a couple of outings. 

[Jaheff]

I understand Dodge guy, I'm just saying for the average angler like me, that power pro is a good braid. I use it in salt and fresh and it does everything I want in a braid and it's not junk. I always use braid as a main line, and it does the job more than adequate. I'm sure these opinions of what's the best braid will go on for a long time.

[SoFlaBassAddict]

I'd love to try some of the newer braids.  Power Pro has been very good to me in both salt and freshwater.  It's cheap, available everywhere, and performs just fine.  It's it a bit noisier than other braids?  Sure.  Does it hook and land just as many fish as other braids?  Sure.

If it aint broke, don't fix it.

I'd be willing to give the new Sufix line a shot, but only in the neon lime green, and only if I could get it at a decent price. If not, I'll just stick with my yellow PowerPro.

That clinches the deal for me. I've been fishing with Sufix Performance braid for a couple of years and love it. A slow sinking version would slow the rate of fall on my new Strike King 1/16 oz micro jigs. Slow falling jig + Net Bait Paca Chunk arms flapping = fish on

Power Pro is the hemp-rope of braided lines.  Except that hemp-rope retains its color.  And isn't as rough.

[jerry43]

I tried the 50# 832 on my baitcaster. Ended up with a green thumb, palm and green drops all over the reel. Hope it stops bleeding. Didn't cast much that outing but does appear to cast smooth.

[Bassohol]

It does bleed. I don't know what kind of special spool you got that doesn't, but I ended up with green fingers while spooling and green droplets the first couple times I fished it. It does seem to have stopped there, however. I haven't seen any color since and it doesn't seem to have faded too much either. I've been really impressed with the 832.
