Fireline Braid Versus Sufix 832

[Wayne P.]

Wow! I put my Fireline on one combo, feels great. Casts better than PowerPro, hope it holds the color!

No colored superline can remain the factory supplied color. The fibers don't absord coloring and they just have a surface coating. Some lines maintain their colors longer than others.

but the fireline braid does hold color better than others i've used.

I think it's safe to say that I hold PP in very high regards. There is nothing stronger or tougher. However, 832 is second in those two categories and easily ahead in most others. It has a very long break in time but when it does it's a really good line. I'm not crazy about it in the bigger sizes, but I really like the 10#. Reliability and sensitivity are much more of a concern to me than comforts like being quieter and smoother. So far, 832 is allowing me to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Dodge- That's the kind of credible feedback I look for. Although, I don't agree with you sometimes, I still hold your opinion in high regard. Great post. Keeping it real up in Poughkeepsie. I also love the open-minded loyalty.

I'm still working through my stockpile of Stren Super Braid I got for $4.00 a spool at walmart when it was discontinued. Maybe by the time I'm done with that, the 832 will be discontinued too and I'll get a bunch of it on clearance while Dodgeguy is calling it obsolete and touting the latest and greatest best braid.

Fish in the crystal clear waters of Maine...Have used 14lb Fireline Crystal for years and now also using the Braid....Casts very well very sensitive...Hey if it works why switch right ????....I also would have to add that any line will feel different casting and sensitivity wise depending on what you are throwing on....Confidence and knowledge is what catches bass,,,,Not the rod,,reel or line....Throw what you are confident in ...You wil catch more fish...

I have 8-10 or so 300yd spools of the Fireline that I snagged when Dick's had it for $11 or under. I won't be trying a different braid for at least a decade considering how long it lasts for me.
