Suffix last year was a pleasant surprise, especially in the <50# ranges, where PP has failed me. Liked it a lot. Still use PP in 50# and up.

I've use both and give the nod to suffix but powerpro is just fine. If you don't mind dropping a little extra coin I would give Saltiga braid serious consideration. That stuff is probably the best thing that I've used but it is expensive (i think 200 yard spools run about $35).

I've used Sufix for the last three years with no problems at all. Been buying the 300 yard spools because of the 10. off coupon rather then bulk spools..

I was all Fireline, but gave suffix and PP a shot last year. Suffix and PP is one in the same IMO, didn't notice a benefit of either in the 50lb range.
I noticed alot of guys use heavier line poundage on conventionals, is there a reason for this other than to minimize birdnests? Or do you just fish area's where heavier line is needed?
I have 65lb PP on a 704 and it works fine.

The Suffix is 8 strands and the Power Pro is I think 4. I switched from Power Pro to Suffix. I use 20#, 30# and 50#. Suffix seems to hold shape better but 6 of one half doz of another! |

The braid I'm referring to is multicolored but the primary color was blue. I'm sure it comes in other colors. Does that sound like the same stuff? |
