Jim J Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Anyone tried Suffix braid? If so what did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have. 10lb. It's become my favorite line for a ML spinning rod. It's similar to Power-Pro. Seems to hold coating and color a bit better. Casts like rocket for the life of the line. Gonna try some heavier # tests. Overall in my non-scientifical super subjective tests it seems to hold up better than anything else especially when you drag it on the rocks. Strengthwise like all superlines, it's strong enough. Disadvantages are similar to Power Pro. It's very limp so it wraps around guides etc. it's aslo more expensive (at Bass Pro) than Power Pro or Tuff Line XP. Probably because of the stupid holographic packaging. Also like most braids annoyingly noisy. Still, based on durabilty and castabilty, I'm a fan. Later.

Jonn Graham Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I absolutely love it! I know, I know I hate to join the "braid gang", but I must admit this stuff is good. I think it is quieter than other braids and does cast incredibly. In addition, as Mark said, it does retain its green color longer than power pro.

Jonn Graham Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 You are the poster boy for braid. I think I saw an ad for power pro in one of my magazines and you were the featured picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S. Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Is anyone using it with baitcasting gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Lee Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I use it for largemouth in the muck, but i tended to rip BIGGER holes(unless throwing a chatterbait) in their mouth with the stuff in open water. I caught a couple smallies in Minnesota with it and noticed the same. I opted not to use it. All was done on the reliable baitcaster.

Jim Kast Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'm still using Power Pro on my baitcasters. Haven't tried the Suffix, yet. I did try Cortland Super Braid on my baitcasters, but it didn't react well, kept looping itself around the spool. It works great on my spinning reel.

Jonn Graham Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have been using it on baitcasters and spinning reels. Seems to work great for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonn Graham Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I have been using the 10 pound on the spinning reels and 20 pound on the baitcasters. I wish they made a 12 or 15 pound test, but they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve S. Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I have been using the 10 pound on the spinning reels and 20 pound on the baitcasters. I wish they made a 12 or 15 pound test, but they don't. I see they have lo-vis and hi-vis available. Has anyone tried both? Just wondering if the performance is the same.

Jonn Graham Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I am sure it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Lee Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 performance is the same, but like i have always thought about iron "suck" err... silk, who wants to throw "Solar Mint" fishing line, ie. hi-vis. Especially in our clear streams? I'm just not too sure about the color of the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kend Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Cortland Line Company, offers a superbraid line, labeled, "MasterBraid". Available in 10, 15, 20, 30, 50, 65, 90 and 100lb test. The 10, 15 & 20 lb test is formulated for spinning reels, virtually eliminating "wind-knots". Colors: Bronzeback Brown, Hi-Vis yellow and Seafoam Blue. A true "round" braid. The color is dyed into the individual strands, (does not ware off, like the coated lines). The best superline, I've used, to date. ps---it's made in the U.S.A.
