Sufix Elite 8 lb Fishing Line

Good quality fishing line

Been searching for a mono line that was strong yet flexible. This is my favorite mono line so far. Knots hold well, it's average diameter yet flexible in cooler temps.

I would not rate this as the best out there, but I wanted an affordable mono line that had good visibility. I use it on a spinning reel in conjunction with a lighter weight fluorocarbon leader attached with a small barrel swivel. It holds up well in stream fishing environments, and as mentioned, I can clearly see the line to have the ability to mend the line to keep it taut. The 8 lb. is more than enough, even for fish over 8 lb., as the rod does the hard work.

This line was just what I needed! It works very well and I can see it!

This is one of ny favorite fishing lines.

I put this line on medium tackle that I have for fishing rivers for channel catfish. It was very durable when a cat would hook on and run me into an underwater stump. I thought for sure that it was going to snap, but it held and I brought in a nice 8 lb. Channel Cat. It is also very good for feeling the hit on panfish and I was quite amazed at the visibility in low light conditions or when I use a lantern at night. Definitely be buying some other line weights.

Suffix is a great mono line. Highly recommend. Fast shipping, excellent transaction.

Despite being billed as easy handling and level winding I found this mono to be rather stiff, with a lot of coil memory, on a 4000 series Shimano reel. Casting distance was mediocre. Perhaps it would be better for heavier rods and presentations than the light and ultralight equipment I use. In any case I've retired the rest of this stuff to use as backing for thin braid, and for knot-tying practice - it is easy to see!
