I have been a Suffix guy for a few years. Been fishing the Performance braid on my VS and Stradics and put the 832 on my conventional eeling rod. Absolutely love the Suffix stuff over anything else I have used so far. Looking to put some Samurai on a distance rod to see how that works since it seems to be thinner.
Haven't really looked for anything new since I am happy with what I have on my surf gear, but I have been fishing the Cortland Superbraid on a light spinner fluking and I really like it. Not as smooth as the Suffix, but seems to do just fine for what I have been using it for.

I started with power pro and had nothing but problems. Switched to 832 and haven't looked back.

The issue I had with power pro was that I use to get wind knots when I casted. Then someone me that I had to much line on the spool and to remove some. Problem solved. But now I am going to go back to using a tradition spinning reel, with mono. I think next reel I get which will be the same from before I'll try out the 832 or samurai.

Power Pro all day everyday- literally ;D. Haven't had one problem with it yet, and trust me I fish it hard! I did just get a 1500 yard spool of the new super slick stuff for free to try and, and have to say I am very pleased with it. I went through a solid 6 hour session last night without any tape on my finger using the super slick and it didn't cut me once!

This is a very general question.
In my opinion the guy from the surf may need a totally different braid from the guy on a boat wreck fishing or deep dropping.
I personally likie Sufix performance braid casts well on my bait casters and handles all my bottom fishing needs.Dont know how it performs for you surf guys though?
I bought a few monster spools on flea bay,neon orange 30,40,50 for so little cost.I guess no one wanted the brite stuff,since I always fish a top shot it was a score.I have enough braid for 10 years or so. ;D

I have found that it is the roundest braid on the market and casts very very well. I use it on pretty much all my surf reels that have braid. I have the Performance braid on my spinners and the 832 on my Surfmaster. The Performance braid casts amazing and I have switched over from 50 to 30 on one reel and have seen really nice improvements on my distance rod. |
