Sufix832 Advanced Superline Braid - 150 yards

Do not lose that big fish. This is a thin braided line that very strong.

Wonderful line it goes on greatly, just what I needed. Clean cast and retrieve excellent.

Very good line very durable

Braided line is the finest fishing innovation since canned beer; however, it's not without tradeoffs. I've fished Power Pro for years, have been relatively happy, and just accepted its flaws...Then I discovered Sufix 832! Oh baby, BABY!!! I couldn't be happier if I'd discovered Kate Upton, giftwrapped, beneath my Christmas tree!Is this line perfect? Of course not; nothing is. But this is the BEST line. Compared to PP S8, this really is thinner, stronger, rounder, smoother, looser, more water-resistant, and less prone to color fade, fraying, or line memory.Common (though unnecessary) concerns about this, and braided line in general, include:#1 - Lighter line (< 20-lb.) is weaker than same-strength mono#2 - Casts poorly (i.e., too stiff, prone to memory and/or birds' nests)#3 - Frays easily, doesn't retain its strength#4 - Color fades quickly#1 - Many anglers upgrade from mono to the same-strength braid, fail to use the appropriate drag and/or leader, set the hook like an epileptic rodeo clown, then curse the line after getting snapped. Well, unlike stretchy mono, braids can't dissipate the force of impact. It need not be a problem though. Read on...But why bother with low-strength braid anyway? 20-lb. braid has the same diameter as 6-lb. mono, and fishing for anything too small or skittish for that is as purposeless as a Rubik's cube in the hands of a colorblind arthritic. TIP: Use stronger line. (It's still much thinner than mono; and, that's the whole point of braids, right?) Use a leader and/or set the hook gently (a subtle wrist flick will do). Loosen the drag until the hook's set.#2 - Most braided lines are stiffer than mono; however, Sufix 832 is smoother, rounder, and less stiff than other brands. As a result, it casts much better. Also, the addition of the gore fiber helps reduce water absorption thereby keeping wet line lighter. TIP: Condition the line with Ardent Line Butter. When casting, lightly feather the line and close the bail manually.#3 - Many braided lines lose a fair amount of strength once knotted and/or frayed; although, compared to other braids, Sufix 832 retains its strength far better and is much less prone to fraying. (Sufix claims to be 3x better than other brands' knotted line strength. Not sure about that, but it IS noticeably better.) TIP: Re-tie often and at the first sign of fraying.#4 - Sure, braided line will fade eventually. So what!? Seriously, it's fishing line, not an appendage; it can be replaced. TIP: Use a dark color (lo-vis green), condition with Line Butter, and replace every 1-2 year(s). Once faded, strip the line and respool from the other end (i.e., faded portion now at bottom of reel and the previously buried/unfaded portion now at top of the spool.)Tips for common inshore Florida saltwater species:Use Sufix 832 80-lb. line with a long 100 or 150-lb. leader for tarpon and kingfish; shock and wire leaders for sharks and baracuda. Use Sufix 832 40 or 50-lb. line for snook, redfish, bonefish, black drum, and jack crevalle; 20 or 30-lb. line for pompano, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, flounder, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, ladyfish, sea trout, etc.Avoid swivels and lead; don't use larger-than-necessary hooks. If fishing at night or in non-clear water, attach braided line directly to hook. For plugs, attach to non-swivel duo-lock snap; attach snap to lure. In clear water, use a short flouro leader with a small non-slip loop knot for both live bait and lures.Good luck and congratulations on graduating to Sufix 832! :)Update: While bass fishing a heavily wooded shore recently, I caught an annoying-ass treefish. (Who hasn't?) Unable to finesse the 4/0 hook free, I grabbed my Aftco gloves, wrapped the 30-lb. line around my hand, and horsed the hook loose. To my amazement, the hook actually broke mid-shaft... but the line held!

I haven't used it to fish yet but as far as the coloring goes, it needs some work. When loading my 2 reels with the 30lb and 65lb braid the coloring came off both spools where I held the line to keep it tight and even on my reels. My thumb and forefinger where both covered in the green die, I had stripes across both fingers which other braid I had used never did. I know once it get into the water I will loose a lot of the color. I hope it doesn't change to much because I never had much luck using braid. I'm 70 so I can't be trying every brand out there to find one that holds it color. I read all the comments on this kind and thought it was one brand that would retain most of it's color. I'm going to have to stick to my Mono, the Silver Thread brand, it can be hard to get b ut it is the best line I ever bought. I own 5 Large spools and 6 smaller salt water ones that are the easiest and best, strongest and thinnest Line I ever bought. Example on 8lb test I caught a 21 1/2lb Catfish in fast water, A 41 1/2inch Musky in fast water. Thie line never left me down, I hope this braid works better then I feel it's going too! Tight Lines to All.

I was a mono guy for years, and my experience with the earliest generations of super lines and braids wasn't as good as I would have liked.But I switched to 832 about 10 years ago, and I will never go back.Consistent and predictable performance, thin, strong, and comes off the reel like butter. I use the 20 for multiple applications, largemouth, smallmouth, pike, even salmon. I get the thin diameter that I prefer, and have not had to compromise line strength to do it. I almost always run a fluoro or mono leader with an FG knot, except for frogs or straight flipping, and it fishes flawlessly. The only down side is the occasional wind knot, and once you understand the properties of braid, you can prevent them or if anything minimize them.And then there’s this for the guys who have complained about it breaking on a cast: Check your guides for frays or cracks, and make sure your tip is clear and not tangled before you make a cast. I fish a lot, and have used this line exclusively for years. I typically carry multiple rigs on my boat deck. And never, ever, not even once had this stuff break on a cast. Ever. Other than those reasons, I wouldn’t even know how to break it on a cast….Check your gear, replace or fix it, then go buy some Sufix 832.I'm a big brand loyal guy, when I find something that works I stick with it.If you haven't already, switch to the Suffix 832, I did and I'm not changing anytime soon.

50lb labeled test spool labeled broke repeatedly around 30lbs when checked with calibrated pull scale, which is disappointing. Seems like most brands are 10- 25% weaker than labeled with a few exceptions that hold within 5%. Other than that, it is smooth through the guides and holds its color.
