Yep, excellent post slipperybob. Very interesting how the 10lb 832 comes very close to the knot strength of the 20lb 832.

I'm hoping it's not one of those huge margin of tolerance amongst the produced lines. Since the Sufix Performance Braid in both 10# and 20# along with the 832 braid in 20# all kind of show a similar strength relationship. If the next spool of 10# 832 braid I buy shows the same line knot strength, I'll definitely be buying that one exclusively. :big grin:

Results for Sufix 832 and Performance Braid are available at

Really worth a read as the tester, Paul Van Gaal, has no allegiance to any particular manufacturer.

Sufix PB is one of the best braids on the market IMHO. Stands up well over time, holds knots well, and has good strength for its diameter.
