Do you know if Spectra is in your fishing line?  It could mean the difference between a good or a bad day on the water!

It is NOT, I found they were nowhere near as abrasion resistant as I had became used to with Fireline. I have always hated the drag in the eyes on rods, it also lacked the ability to work with super light setups and slip bobbers, and how casting distance suffered, all because of it's friction, but I could find no other zero memory line as tough. Power Pro was nowhere near as tough as I have found for abrasion and knot strength, and wind knots, same went for Fireline Braid when I tried it and most others were worse than these and I don't know what they were made of as it doesn't matter when it wont hold up to your environment. Seldom did Fierline ever break at the knot and its abrasion resistance was unheard of for a Superline, although not braided but fused fibers,  in the 15 or so years I used it, I tried almost every new line that came out and was never worth the advantages over the disadvantages I found with them over Fireline.

 

But then I finally found a line 2 years ago, Sufix 832 Advanced Superline, that I was pleased with, that did perform better in many ways than any of the superlines I have wasted money on over the years. It is made and woven differently with Dyneema fibers and Gore, which one does what I don't know, but it is softer smoother rounder more abrasion resistant and has better knot strength cast farther than any line I have tried, and than the lines mentioned that I have tried with Spectra being advertised as there main fibers. The line is as sensitive as any braid I have tried, and like I said is rounder and smoother, so it cast farther, and has better abrasion resistance than any line I have tried since Fireline. I fish rocky reefs and rivers 70% of the time, or more, this is well worth its price as it is the best I have found in this environment. Anyone who has never tried it really should give it a go, the only thing I have ever heard said negative about it is the sound running thru the guides, I personally have only noticed it under a load, and when that is happening I could care less about the whine, when the line is performing better than all the others I have tried.   

 

Their are a lot of meterials today we benafit from that we never had years ago, all are superior to what once was, and as our sport continues to evolve we always benefit from those who continue to think good enough is still in our future, for me Sufix 832 is as good as it currently gets.
