Used it on one of my ice rods this year and was pretty impressed very smooth and limp. Excited to give it a try on the soft water. Has anyone tried it on a spinning reel and how has it preformed for you casting / jigging / rigging??
-
I have a couple of baitcasting reels spooled up with the stuff. I haven't fished with it, but only tossed it around in the back yard.
-
I hope it works well. I found it on sale for 15 bucks, half price.
I bought two spools 10 and 20 lbs. I plan on using it on my spinning rods with fluorocarbon leaders. Soon will know as Walleye opener is in 2 weeks.
I will re post with my success hopefully.
-
Yeah, I found the same sale and loaded up with 4 spools. I was in a local tackle shop and the owner claimed that this stuff was releases by Suffix a few years ago and did not take off, not it has been released with some hype and is selling like mad
-
I have it on my rod. Spinning reel. Let me tell ya, Suffix casted a mile...This stuff casts 3 miles. It's a little thinner and is smooth man. I love it. Same great strength. Same great sensitivity. Small lures even go for a lift off. And I use 30lb test. $15 half price? I got mine for $20...Same price as original Suffix. You won't be disappointed.

As Bass Junkey will attest...Canadian prices.... regular price around 27 bucks I think, got it for $14.99 on sale at Canadian Tire
I'm glad to here positive feedback
-
yep, the Canadian Tire sale of $14.99 had the shelves clearing out quickly, the cheapest I have seen it in my area (other then that sale) is $24.99
-
Tried the Suffix 832 on Pickerel opener and found it to be great. I didn't do mush casting but I found it to have nice sensitivity and smooth.
-
It's been a while and the line is working out well. It floats well when using topwater lures. It sinks well when using diving/sinking type lures.
-
Just bought some 6# yesterday to put on my live rigging setup. I'll let y'all know what I think once I've had a chance to use it.
-
Fished it for one week on a fly in float plane trip we caught 1000 eyes and the line at the end of the week was as good as the first day , no knots no birds nest, no memory would recommend this line to everyone.I personally think its better than power pro size for size. Its a little pricey, I take off about half of what ever line is on the reel and fill it with the new line this way you can do more reels with the good stuff :thumbup_smilie:
-
Yep - the stuff is dynamite! ;D Just bought some more due to a hungry trolling motor ::)
Best line I've ever used! Even the 20lb is soft and supple, casts well, no memory, EXTREMELY sensitive and abrasion resistant. The green "dye" does come off a little...but no more than others I've found. Can't beat it...even at 24.99/125 yd spool.
-
I agree, I liked it so much I went out and bought another spool. I'm using the 6# for jigging walleyes with bucktails and sonars. It's very sensitive and extremely durable.
-
Otis I thought you like fireline #6 when did you change up ????
-
I use the #6 for jigging and 10lb for Pike with a good steel leader 832 is at the top of the game right now.going to be hard to beat
-
I'm surprised by all the great reviews here. I've used it for three years and must say I don't really care for it. Yes, it is very smooth and limp, and does cast well. But my spools, 20# test, frayed easily and I had several pike easily bite through it. If I am targeting pike I will use a wire leader or heavy fluorocarbon as a leader, bit when I am jigging or casting for eyes, I don't and have had several bite offs.
I'll stick to Fireline for my spinning reels and trolling reels along with the flurorcarbon leaders.
