Wanted to go out today to use my new Cumara, and I stopped at Dick's and picked up a spool of the 832 in 50lb. I don't have the Curado yet, so I threw my Advantage HSTA on and spooled up. The Curado is coming with 70lb Samurai. When it gets here I'll put the 832 on the Curado and the Samurai on the Advantage, which is my frog reel.

I really like the 832. It's a lot smoother than PowerPro, and is less noisy going throught the guides. At first I wasn't sure about the color (it's lighter than PP) but now I realize it's a good thing and will help with line watching. You can just color the line close to your bait with a Sharpie if you're not using a leader.

The Cumara is really amazing. For the first time I feel like I bought the perfect rod for what I wanted, and it has the exact action I wanted. It's really light, and extremely sensitive. I threw my standby, a 1/4 oz. Rage Craw t-rig, for most of the trip, then at the end I switched to a 1/2 oz. jig'n Rage Craw. It's honestly the perfect rod for me.

If you were wondering about the 832, buy it. It's a really great braid.

Now all I need is my Curado and some warmer weather!

You're gonna love the Samurai, too. You'll never go back to Power Pro. I didn't.

i've been telling people powerpro was outdated for over a year now.i'm glad to see others realizing it.

Just about everything in the Sufix lineup is a winner.

I really like PowerPro, and would have no reason to switch from it to another line, other than the fact that the 832 is a REALLY good line. The more I think about my time fishing it today, the more I realize that's it's way better than PowerPro, and I'll probably not buy another type of braid for a while now.

It just hit me how well that line fished. It was extremely smooth. 

832 is certainly quieter and it seems to retan its color a little longer than other braids too. Ive used it for a month. As far as casting distance its been the poorest braid Ive used. Using the same outfit the distance is almost half that of performance braid.

I have read the opposite.  Do you have any opinion as to why it cast so poorly for you?

Well it holds its color better, so I hope its stiffness is also part of that equation. As it ages and gets limper perhaps it'll cast better. I read that it would sink but see no indication that it does any more than any other braid.

I was considering 832 myself, but based on these reviews I don't see a reason to change (right now) from Suffix Performance Braid. I have too many 1/2 spools sitting around because I'm always trying to find the perfect braid. I'll wait.

Good idea. I love Sufix line and its the only braid I'll us. I hope it hasnt changed since they got bought out by Rapala. The last box of Seige I got had rough spots through out the spool. Bass Pro took care of it, I couldnt get anywhere with Sufix via email. Now not being happy with the 832.... I might try Samurai next.

Not many people that have tried the Samurai braid, were dissatisfied with it..

Use mine in fresh and salt water..

Casting was superb for me. I mean I could really launch it.
