Suffix Line

[speckfinder]

As of today am officially done using Suffix Line. After a short time of use it gets so rotten I can't even tie jigs on without it breaking. I then have to pull enough line out to get to what was on reel and not exposed to the elements. Anybody else have this problem?

Well im glad im not the only one that has proplems out of that line. I used it for about a month and thought It was one of the worst lines I ever used. Maybe we just got a bad spool but im sticking with silver thread and micro fuse.

I got talked into trying this line back last year. I've got 2 jig'n rods that have had this line on them for about a year and I haven't notice any problems. Plus it is by far the best line I have ever put on a spinning reel.

Now I will say that the only time my rods are exposed to the elements is when I'm fish'n. Just about any mono will deteriorate if exposed to the sun for long periods of time.

i think its best line on the market, yes like any line if left in the sun the uv rays wil effect it but i have had no issues with it and it is the strongest line i have used.

I've never used Sufix line. But, I have read discussions pertaining to this line ... and it seems, as I remember, that the Seige was trashed pretty hard ... and the Elite got mixed reviews. Many of the same "cons" were mentioned ... such as memory problems, hookset breakage & breakage upon casting, and a general dislike of it for use on spinning reels.

Balancing the line property choices ... between castability with light weight lures, abrasion resistance, strength, small diameter, and visibility properties, is an ongoing process. Reel spool size vs line diameter & softness/limpness is also a guiding factor (esp for spinning equipment). I don't think any one line has mastered all these aspects. And, even within one brand, not all versions are equal in their overall performance.

The only time my rods are exposed to the elements are when I'm fishing. Lately that hasn't been very much. The rest of the time they're in the covered boat in the garage.

I just got some of the hi vis Suffix line. I hadn't spooled it yet. A friend owed me some money for a deer feeder...and since he worked at Gander Mt. part time...I had him to pay me off in hi vis Suffix. We will see how it works.

I've been using the Elite this year and my 2 cents worth is it's very strong, not much problem with memory, but I sure can't cast as far with it as some other lines, using a micrometer its as large a diameter as most other lines next heaver size.

I have been using Sufix Elite Hi-Vis 4# test for 2 years with no problems..I did try 6# first & did not like it because of memory but , to me, the 4# is great...Prior to Sufix I was using Trilene Sensation 4# and liked it very well but it was hard to find in the Solar color...

For those of you that don't like Sufix I'll bet you were using Sufix Seige...I tried Seige at first and didn't like it at all...It is an entirely different line than Sufix Elite..
