What Braid Is Your Favorite?

Featured Replies

Suffix 832 40 is on a few of my reels that's the only braid I use on baitcasters I use 20 and 30 832 on spinning sometimes

I've been fishing PowerPro for 6 years. It's been good to me, but this year I ordered a spool of TuffLine on the recommendation of my charter captain buddy. He has it on all of his river rods and has used it for years. Good enough for someone that fishes for a living, good enough for me.

Sufix 832 or power pro

Power Pro 15# & 20# & Super Slick hands down! The only down fall with Power Pro is that after many casts & many fighting fishes it has a tendency to fade a little bit, other than that great braid!

I was a Power Pro user for years...switched 3 years ago to 832 and can't believe how much smoother and less "screech" on the guides.  I like the 832 in the Ghost color...it never fades because its already white... and I really think I can see it above water better than high viz green/yellow.  In clear water, I tie on a fluorocarbon leader.  Alberto knot.  Works well for me ~

I use Sunline SX1 in 16lb hi vis yellow for just about everything.

SX1 is probably the strongest and toughest but is kind of loud

FX2 is strong like cable, but sounds like a zipper.

PP is the most supple and limp but it gets fuzzy/frayed easily and loses color very fast

832 is like PP + SX1 had a baby that bleeds green... quickly.

Smackdown is probably my favorite tho. It feels more like SX1 in usage but is nice and quiet. Also comes in awesome finesse sizes that daddy likey. Bigtime.

I have used regular Power Pro and Suffix 832. I like the 832 better but I will still use PP because it's cheaper.

Power Pro 65lb, some reels spooled with yellow and some with green.  Unless it is a Carolina Rig I use no leader.  I honestly don't think the fish care what color your line is.
