umKthxbye Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Ok so lots of new lines came out at icast 2010. The 2 that cought my eye the most are the SpiderWire Ultracast Fluoro Braid and Suffix 832 Advanced Super lines. The only review for the fluro braid on BPS says its garbage but id like to hear more reviews of it if anyone has used it yet. I'm a really big on braided line and have been using berkley tracer braid but the Suffix 832 in lime green looks very tempting and the BPS reviews are good. From a test conducted in 2010 between a few braids (http://tinyurl.com/ye88fbk <--link to the article. Its by tackle tour and there testing of tackle is well done) suffix came out on top. I know there is a lie for every application but id like to hear reviews from people on these 2 new lines. I'm leaning more towards the suffix 832 for my next line to spool on my new baitcaster but i always like to see what other have to say and then weight in the options. Another thing i would like to get info on that I've never used before is Fluorocarbon lines since ill be using it for leaders and may end up using it instead of braid, who knows. Please give pros/cons, what applications and constructive info. Saying "buy such and such line cuz it rules" isn't useful info Thanks.
ColdH20guy Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 I just got back from my local Wal-Mart and picked up some 10lb Sufix braid ( I have never seen them stock Sufix braid before) and some Spider Wire Braid..they were on for $12 a box..normally around $20 or so. I got one of each to try the sufix..I have tried the spider wire and like it but have heard good reviews on the sufix..I should have bought it all! haha Definitely need the fluoro leader tied on to the braid and you are good to go on most applications.. Enjoy...
umKthxbye Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Let me know how the suffix works for you in comparison to the spiderwire braid since I've also used regular SW before. My spinner has the invisibraid on it although inprefer the berkley braid allot more then the SW stuff. I found the invisibraid flat and not rounded. But yeah le me know how suffix is to SW.
GBW Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 you should read this post. http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49008&st=0&p=528006&hl=garry2r&fromsearch=1entry528006
umKthxbye Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Oh damn. I even used the search feature. For some reason search in forums always fails with me on every forum I'm on. I give that a read thanks.
umKthxbye Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 This thread can be deleted now then since that once covers everything.
solopaddler Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 The Suffix 832 rocks. If it stands up as well as Power Pro it'll definitely be my go to braid.
asdve23rveavwa Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 Suffix 832 is going on my new Citica, hope it lives up to the hype. Have read a number of articles, and, reviews...definitely sounds like it is worth a shot.
bdox Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 I'm also one who hopes 832 lives up to it's hype. At $25 for 150yds I also hope it lasts longer than Power Pro.
umKthxbye Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Posted March 3, 2011 Is it available inthe lime green in Canada yet? The bps website has it but only in dark green. I want the hi-vis not low-vis.
