power pro vs sufix

[bonesetter2]

debate time again
i have yet to us sufix so i cant compare
the two
what are the pros and cons of each
anyone?

[frogpond11]

I have used both. The Sufix seems to cast better to me...and it doesn't seem as loud. I like it a little better. But that's just my opinion...

bonesetter2, you may want to take a look at this thread: http://www.dealtackler.com/T3Forum/viewtopic.php?t=6365

IMO SPB out performs PP. The only drawback to SPB is the cost. But it is worth it!

I have a question about Sufix Braid... does it decolorate? if yes, how much does it take it to decolorate?

[kbookert]

It will but a much slower pace than PP and not as much as PP.

The knot tying and casting distance are the best qualities of the SPB over PP.

Oh that's great, I may consider buying some to fill my TD Millionaire SW 203L

Kind of a newbie giving his 2 cents here but I have tested three different lines this year since I have gotten back into fishing. Spider wire braid (pretty good), Berkley Crystal (didnt like at all) and Suffix braid (love it). It seems to be strong, smooth and quite limp. I have read about power pro and used a friends reel that had PP on it. The reason I was so interested in trying it was because it didnt appear to be the same stiff stuff I had handled in the store, but he said it was. The PP seems to loosen up after several outings which is nice but I would rather not "break in line". Suffix on the other hand was , as I stated earlier, extremely limp right out of the package and I loved it from the first cast. Its the best line i have used to date. Give it a try I dont think you will use anything else. Good luck. G

Does Sufix come in red?

[ian.jason]

Sufix does not come in red, by my knowledge.

Power-pro does.

Have used suffix but not power pro. basically, i think that Fins PRT is the better one. Had a spool (10lb) on my Calcutta 50 and it's been on that reel for 6 years now. No problems and never let me down, not even once.

Does Sufix come in red?

I've never seen a red braid here on the U.K, or any other funky colour for that matter. What are the benefits, apart from looking good on the reel?

[Reel Old Geezer]

I've never had either Power Pro or Suffix deteriorate, but I have noted that Yellow Suffix bleached out to white very rapidly. The fluorescent yellow Suffix on my reel turned white within a few months of use. It appears to me that the properties of the LINES are very similar, but perhaps the coatings make a difference to some fishermen.
