I wish I had stocked up when Uncle Bob told me to.
Needless to say Eric, I still have some new spools.
Suffix 832 Advanced is great. Far and away a deeper diving core at equal poundage than any other brand. You pay for that depth though at the counter. As Tunker mentioned the regular suffix has some issues. I'm not sure if the plain suffix has worked that out of not.The cabelas "old stock" everyone loves is just Woodstock in Cableas drag. I can't imagine they rerigged the mills just for special cabelas runs. So Woodstock you buy now should be the same as the old cabelas. Ive got a few new spools of each and its identical. On the reel preforms identical.. Woodstock is also reasonably priced I have had good luck with it in the past. The local store sells woodstock mill ends. Spools with only 6 or 7 colors. It's held up great and for the asking price of $4.00 is great for spooling up 3 or 4 cores. Or board cores. The new Cabelas line is made by Tuffline. So whatever you can buy from Tuffline for leadcore is the same as Cabelas new stuff and vise versa. I've always had trouble with the top color on the spool fading on all cabelas new and old. It doesn't bother me though because I can always see when it breaks to the second. Both dive and handle pretty similar to the woodstock. The Woodstock maybe doesn't bleed out as bad. Hard to sayCortland has new 3 color "walleye core" spools. They have done this for awhile but the line changed this year. It was immediately noticeable. I don't know why it's different from the 10 color spools of Cortland or the older walleye cores but it is and it's excellent. It's the closest thing I've seen to the 832 in dive rate. It also maintains its color well. Of all the cores I've tried it seems to be the most kink resistant of all. The company that produces either bloodrun or morgans copper has come out with a new leadcore that's 10 colors and it uses only the colors red and black. The theory is the color red dissolves the quickest as it achieves depth and black is....well black. Personally I don't think the color of lead is going to scare a fish. That's what leaders for but the companies make excellent products. If the lead is as good as copper it should be top notch. A friend in Michigan sent me a spool. Haven't tested yet as it has not arrivedBest bang for buck: woodstock aka old cabelasBest performance : 832Best all around: Cortland walleye (dives darn close to 832 for less money )Subject to change upon review of the new stuffSide note: woodstock produces 100 pound test lead core. The mill end spools are only a few bucks and work great for sinking weight if you just cut them in desired sections and twist around main line
tried some of the micro stuff a few years ago and hated it, went back to 18 pound kerplunk
I thought kerplunk was out of business? Fleabay?
