What # test Suffix 832?

What pound test Suffix 832 line are most of you guys using to pitch plastics with?

I have the 10# on one rod, but haven’t caught anything on it yet and haven’t pitched with it. So, basically, I am of no help to you.

I went with the 10# and am very happy with it for pitching .
Sinks a little faster than power pro.

Curious on that comment. Would you consider the faster sink rate a good thing or a bad thing? Personally I would consider that a negative aspect for a pitching line. Comments?

I have only used 6 #. No fraying or break offs as of yet. My first impressions,is that it is closer to 8# FL or PP as a comparison.For your winter vertical bite,I think that is what you would be happy with. For pitching or casting nasty rock areas, you may prefer 10….especially with crank-baits.

I have been using the 10# pitching blades to rocks, I have yet to notice any fraying however I did have 1 easy break off but after many, many, many casts to the rocks with braided line it’s bound to happen, nothing a 1′ piece of mono cant fix

Have been pitching to deeper rip rap with 1/8th jigs and kinda like the faster drop.I have only used it for 3 day trips so far.But I believe it will not be good for real shallow slow current areas.Thats when I grab the mono rod.
Did put some on my vertical jig rod and am happy with that as it does not let ice build up as bad as other hard lines.

I sure cant speak for Stuart, but it is a much tighter weave than other popular hard-lines. It also does not seem to get water-logged either.That may effect fall rate,guess I really didnt notice that so much myself,but Stuart has much more on-water use than myself.Hi-Vis mono still gets my vote for non rocky drift presentations.

Just finished 4 days on P-4 using 6# 832 Sufix for vertical jigging and small 1/8-1/4oz blade pitching. This stuff is much improved over Fireline Crystal in all aspects and did not show any sign of fraying. For strictly blades I’d probably go 10#.

I’ll still take a premium 6# mono like new Sensation Orange, Endurance Orange, or Maxima Hi Vis Green over any hard line for pitching plastics…

Thanks for the input guys!

how did you like it for vertical jigging? and would you rather have #6 or #8 pound for vertical jigging? i’ve always used #8.

8 # is not offered, below is what the wt & diameters are.

The 6# was excellent for vertical jigging…good strength and sensitivy. While it is a visible green, I wouldn’t mind an even brighter color for my aging eyes…

ok thanks guys. yeah i usually prefer a hi-vis line color too.

Great info! a few questions… any handling/snarls issue with the 6 and 10#? I’ve used 10# braid before, tough to deal with. you throwing jigs and blades with a leader or straight up?
Mr gurskey, how can you even tie a knot with that 6#? man that stuff is thin!
Again, very great info.

I use a Trilene knot and it has never failed me…I don’t use a leader for vertical jigging but like to for casting jigs, especially in current. I generally use about 3-6′ of Flourocarbon depending on the flow and jig weight.
832 is definitely stronger than the same weight in Fireline Crystal (6#), and it sinks…
I have it on Pflueger Arbor 7430 reel and NO SNARLS so far! 4 days on Pool 4 last November!

great info Tom, last question and I won’t bug you no more… how do you deal with the braid fading or losing its color? cut some off or use a marker.
I may pick up some of this 832 stuff thanks to Tom… Nothin’ better than buying stuff for next year!

i havnt used it for pitching or casting yet only winter vertical and im a fan i been using 6lb hivis and love it for 6lb very strong i have snaged up a few times and its hard to break off and is really nice in near zero temps cant wait to try it out during the summer months
