what do you like better than the fins?( i still have 1 1/2 bulk spools to use up)

It’s kind of all the same to me. If you handed me three rods with fins, pp, and 832 I doubt I could tell any difference. Someone recommended fins years ago for my saltwater spinning reels. When I got into bass fishing I can’t remember why I went with anything different but I probably just went with what I found easily.

So its not exactly like Slick 8...but Im liking it. I definitely feel it has a better feel to it than regular power pro, but just a tiny bit less supple than slick 8. bought 2 600 yard spools and gonna try them for a couple seasons. Lets see what its like after use. Im liking it so far though just off feel.

Nothing. I'll take Fins any day over the other stuff

FYI, I no longer figure Braid is Braid. Have a rod with Seaguar TactX. Stuff is terrible. Used like twice and had lost almost all color and zero slickness. Noisy. Like winding in a literal rope.

agree, the piscifun and kastking stuff is the same!

im cool with the 832 so far. I dont mind the decision....even though I think i still like the slick 8 just a little more.

FINS windtamer

That is the first time I have heard anyone say braid is "stiff". 832 is fantastic line.

Just bought a spool of 65lb 832. You can hold the end about 5” back and it’ll stick straight out. Braid is stiff. Smoother than the [censored] I had though. It went on my punching/frog rod.
New 50lb Power Pro slick 8 went on my Chatterbait rod. It’s slicker and less stiff than the 832.

Does it matter to the fish???

Matters to me what I spend my money on and I wind on all day. Is that ok? Does It offend you that someone said braid is stiff?

I like the 832 for heavy cover reeds, grass, pads sticks etc..
Slick 8 or seaguar smackdown for everything else (although my last spool of smackdown is not the same as all my previous spools I dont like it)

I like Suffix 832, Fins Windtamer, Power Pro slick and Diawa J. Braid in that order. Throw 30# 832 on bait cast in saltwater and 20# 832 on spinning. I always throw bait caster. The spinning rods are my wife’s and I use them for others who don’t throw a bait caster. Usually use a 20 or 25# mono Big Game Leader. Might tie directly to lure in less than clear water.

I have a big spool of 832 30#. When I went to put 20# line on the Spinning Rods for a company tournament this week I didn’t have any 20#. J Braid was a bunch cheaper so that’s what I put on them. At he end of the day I don’t think it makes all that much difference. J Braid is a little less smooth. I caught Peacocks on 80# J braid in Brazil. I could throw all the line off the spool of the Shimano Mentanium if I wanted to.

Don’t throw much in freshwater on braid. Frog, Flutter spoon, chatter bait and some top water. Big Game Mono for everything else. I don’t like fluorocarbon.

Braid to mono I tie a double uni. I like the FG knot way better but eyesight doesn’t t help tie it. If I use a guide I get him to tie the FG….lol.

WOW! Can't believe you got bad smackdown!! That's all I use for braid and NEVER had a problem.

Ditto ... I'm used to the line and know what to expect, plus I tend to get brand loyal.
