832 Advanced Superline Braid - 150 yards

Braided line is the finest fishing innovation since canned beer; however, it's not without tradeoffs. I've fished Power Pro for years, have been relatively happy, and just accepted its flaws... Then I discovered Sufix 832! Oh baby, BABY!!! I couldn't be happier if I'd discovered Kate Upton, giftwrapped, beneath my Christmas tree! Is this line perfect? Of course not; nothing is. But this is the BEST line. Compared to PP S8, this really is thinner, stronger, rounder, smoother, looser, more water-resistant, and less prone to color fade, fraying, or line memory. Common (though unnecessary) concerns about this, and braided line in general, include: #1 - Lighter line (< 20-lb.) is weaker than same-strength mono #2 - Casts poorly (i.e., too stiff, prone to memory and/or birds' nests) #3 - Frays easily, doesn't retain its strength #4 - Color fades quickly #1 - Many anglers upgrade from mono to the same-strength braid, fail to use the appropriate drag and/or leader, set the hook like an epileptic rodeo clown, then curse the line after getting snapped. Well, unlike stretchy mono, braids can't dissipate the force of impact. It need not be a problem though. Read on... But why bother with low-strength braid anyway? 20-lb. braid has the same diameter as 6-lb. mono, and fishing for anything too small or skittish for that is as purposeless as a Rubik's cube in the hands of a colorblind arthritic. TIP: Use stronger line. (It's still much thinner than mono; and, that's the whole point of braids, right?) Use a leader and/or set the hook gently (a subtle wrist flick will do). Loosen the drag until the hook's set. #2 - Most braided lines are stiffer than mono; however, Sufix 832 is smoother, rounder, and less stiff than other brands. As a result, it casts much better. Also, the addition of the gore fiber helps reduce water absorption thereby keeping wet line lighter. TIP: Condition the line with Ardent Line Butter. When casting, lightly feather the line and close the bail manually. #3 - Many braided lines lose a fair amount of strength once knotted and/or frayed; although, compared to other braids, Sufix 832 retains its strength far better and is much less prone to fraying. (Sufix claims to be 3x better than other brands' knotted line strength. Not sure about that, but it IS noticeably better.) TIP: Re-tie often and at the first sign of fraying. #4 - Sure, braided line will fade eventually. So what!? Seriously, it's fishing line, not an appendage; it can be replaced. TIP: Use a dark color (lo-vis green), condition with Line Butter, and replace every 1-2 year(s). Once faded, strip the line and respool from the other end (i.e., faded portion now at bottom of reel and the previously buried/unfaded portion now at top of the spool.) Tips for common inshore Florida saltwater species: Use Sufix 832 80-lb. line with a long 100 or 150-lb. leader for tarpon and kingfish; shock and wire leaders for sharks and baracuda. Use Sufix 832 40 or 50-lb. line for snook, redfish, bonefish, black drum, and jack crevalle; 20 or 30-lb. line for pompano, mangrove snapper, sheepshead, flounder, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, ladyfish, sea trout, etc. Avoid swivels and lead; don't use larger-than-necessary hooks. If fishing at night or in non-clear water, attach braided line directly to hook. For plugs, attach to non-swivel duo-lock snap; attach snap to lure. In clear water, use a short flouro leader with a small non-slip loop knot for both live bait and lures. Good luck and congratulations on graduating to Sufix 832! :) Update: While bass fishing a heavily wooded shore recently, I caught an annoying-ass treefish. (Who hasn't?) Unable to finesse the 4/0 hook free, I grabbed my Aftco gloves, wrapped the 30-lb. line around my hand, and horsed the hook loose. To my amazement, the hook actually broke mid-shaft... but the line held!

Top of the line. Extremely durable and even though the color does bleed, it is still one of the best budget braided lines. Super thin and abrasion resistant.

Great line... but Amazon n please update the pictures...I thought I was getting the White line pictured, instead I got what I already have... "attention to detail folks!"

Great product I fish a lot this line is good quality Light weight but strong

Casts well, and seems to be real strong.

Great braid. Soft, no memory and tough. I use it in 10# on all 6 of my reels. Does loose a bit of color after a summer. I turn the line around and get a second year out of a spool.

Best line in the business. This or power pro are my go to.

Everything is as i ordered
