Not too bad lighty

The thing about Suffix is that you are right, some of it is total crap (in general, the coloured stuff). Never had any problems with the clear stuff though. I wouldn't go as far as saying that the pigment affects the quality, but rather that in actual fact clear suffix is a totally different type of line from coloured stuff but just got the same label. When I was cheapo and used to use sylcast, I always found the yellow stuff broke more easily than the blue. Probably not a coincidence

It was clear 80lb leader I used, trouble is when you fish our gravely beaches in hard surf with weed about, it tends to get scarfed on the bottom, can't keep a tight line with a ton of weed dragging you down tide. The Suffix didn't stand up to it, though 40lb Sensor fared better.

Strange isn't it, Sylcast used to be the premier line,suppose its changed now?

Its so awkward getting people,s opinion of line because everyone fishes differently, I have tried quite a few since coming back to beach fishing, and ain't got a good word to say about any of them, mostly because of the knot strengh when joining leaders, oh well!!!

can honestly say ive never ever had any trouble with leader knots giving way easily.....

the coloured dye used in lines can be detrimental to strength as some lines in some colours seem to break far easier than others .........

opinions on line are so personal with peoples opinions being so fickle......conditions fished,venue etc etc all come into it and the only way of forming your own opinion is to use it and see how it fares for your type of fishing .....


ive been using ....... ultima sea strike 60lb in clear for rigs this year and some of last year......ok some people call it cheap CRAP but it seems ok, supple enough,knots ok and doesnt seem to have hurt my catches

some people swear by ultima f1.........i just swear at it .......dont like it so dont use it


years ago sylcast was king but these days is a bit obsolete, anyone remember that lovely sorrel colour

heres a little list of a few lines and my opinion , but it doesnt mean a thing only to me ;D

ultima tournament.......seems ok, casts ok ....using it at mo

ultima seastrike........ as above but only use it for rigs in heavier BS

tri-line big game ......tuff as f**k

diawa tournament...casts great but can go snappy in the ruff stuff

red ice........ok as reel line once bedded in

ultima f1 .....no thanks

shakespeare aerial used the red in 18lb......cheap £4 a spool and couldnt grumble

heard really good things about sakuma nite crystal but have yet to try it

all super thin lines with super high breaking strains .........no thanks......

buy by diameter not quoted breaking strains with .35 being the run of the mill beach line....that way it will take a few knocks and bumps

weve all got our own thoughts on line and it also helps to look after it , hairline crack etc in a rod ring etc can ruin it all ..........

some of the cheaper monos do actually perform well as they are usually a little bit thicker than expensive lines and will take a bit of abuse !!

pre-streched etc are fine over clean, clean ground but show them the ruff stuff and problems occour ...
