Suffix 832

I finally broke down and bought some to try this year. Most of the fishing I do is pitching jigs or jigging in 5-15 feet of water, possibly deeper though. The gentleman at Gander said there is no need to tie a leader on. The lake I fish is pretty stained ,visibility is probably 3 feet, so I’m not that concerned with stealth. I got the olive colored line. What are your thoughts on if I need a mono or flouro leader. Would I want mono just to give me a little stretch? Thanks in advance.

What rod will it be used on?

It is a medium light rod. Does have a pretty sensitive tip.

I very rarely tie a leader on, only when fishing very early in the year when the water is very clear. Otherwise I tie straight to the jig and hit the bottom 2′ of line with a black sharpie (I use yellow and lime green braid).

You’ll love the 832.

I’m a big proponent of stealth. Just always works better where I fish. 3′ clarity, 3′ leader of your choice, the ML should handle the playing ability of braid fine. Since I retie a lot though I’ll usually just go with rod length to accommodate.

in water like ole miss at pool 4, no. in water like mille lacs, yes fluoro.

I didn’t see a need in canadian stained water (lac seul). but did on Rainy (only cause it was suggested by people who fished it more than me) didn’t try it without a leader though.

Don’t see the need for mono either, no usefull stretch in 3-6′ of leader material. would rather have the stealth and abrasion resistance of fluoro.

Has yet to be proven, this year will experiment, but few years back I ran a crimson red vanish flouro Leader bouncing cranks side by side with my father who had on braid up in one of those dark stained Canadian lakes and out fished him 10-1. I’m talking the big girls too. Yes the dink 14-20″ up in the shallows would bite everything and anything on an anchor rope ,but its my belief the bigguns require a lil more.

I like a flouro leader for those inevitable snags and hang-ups…it is easier snap the jig off and re-tie on the flouro than on the 832.

I use a floro leader all the time with jigs. Does it help catch more fish… no ideal, but there is no down side as I see it.

Here’s a different thought about leaders.

I’ve been using them for certain braids that are notorious for poor knot strength when tied to lure. I’ve found that the line to line knot is far superior with these newer braids.

Then all you have is the reliable mono or floro knot to your lure.

I also do like a little stretch in my lines because I feel it’s a little more forgiving in big fish situations.

I like a floro leader. Still no stretch.

I like that idea. So it’s safe to assume the ink does not damage the line in any way. Great idea.

No, not at all.

832…it’s at a store and coming to my house soon. I’m going to go with it on one set up this year. Also going with the power pro super 8 slick on another. what the H…
I’ve used braids before and have always used 3 to 4 ft of Flouro leader. And, I like the Albright knot for the line 2 line…. because as mentioned above, I 2 like the Flouro to lure vs Braid 2 lure connection

I fish light lures etc. I found 832 to be worst line I ever used. Ended up tossing unused spool of 15 lb or so.

What didn’t you like about 832?

I’m throwing 1/16oz tube jigs with 6# 832 right now and love it! It is, by strength, comparable to 10# PP.

What did you use 15# for? Shakey head bass? Seems pretty heavy for walleye.
