The braid manufactor I used to use is no longer available, I generally only use the stuff on carolina rig. I just spooled up with suffix 40 lb and it seems to be breaking on hook sets when I usually dont have this problem. Now unless you have been fishing a while you probably havent heard of a braid called TUFF Line but I sure do miss it!

Use one with gore. It makes the braid sink and cast better.

I have used Suffix for years and still do and have never had that stuff break on a hook set my trap rod I use for rippin out of grass I have had the same line on it for 4 years and still cant break it. You must of got a bad spool or something Suffix is good stuff.

Use one with gore. It makes the braid sink and cast better. Suffix 832 (8 fibers, 32 weaves per inch) one fiber is Gore, helping it sink, but Suffix has a new super line out that now incorporates a lead core. I like Suffix and was a big fan of this line when it first came out. I haven't toyed their new advanced super line. I like and use Power Pro's new Super Slick 8 line. Man, this stuff rocks! It is so smooth, it truly addresses the issue of guide wear usually associated with braid. Word of caution: make sure you take your thumbnail and scrape back outer coating to help prevent the knot from slipping.

Power pro has been great for me.
