Sufix Questions Answered

Grant Scheele · 02-03-2004, 06:21 PM

I found this Company profile with my line shipment that I received today. I thought that is might answer a few questions that I have seen asked recently on IFISH.

Also, look for an opportunity to try out some Sufix line at the Portland Sportsman Show this week as Amerman Guide Service has some Sufix line give-aways to IFISH members compliments of Sufix.

Sufix DNA is great line -- like the slight yellow color for visibility, the limp/no memory, small diameter, and good knot strength. Plus the price is right.

Thefishinfool loaded one of my reels with it when we fished the Clearwater a couple weeks ago. I'm hooked!

Grant,
I have been on the Sufix staff for about 3 years now and it is great line. Not many dealers out here yet, but very popular back east.
Peace

Joe Superfly, I owe you a thanks. You are the guy that hooked me up with Sufix two years ago at the Portland Sportsman show. I have been with them ever since. And I have been trying to get them in locals stores ever since. A great group of people and even better quality of line. Anyway, Thanks Joe. Grant

I use sufix or tuff on everything. Sufix is really good stuff. I dont use any mono on reels anymore, its sufix superior or DNA. I cant understand why its not more popular?

I find both Sufix and Izorline fish very close to the same, I use them both.

I love the sufix on my salmon rods.I've been wanting to replace it with some new sufix line but i haven't been able to find it lately.

Can anyone out there give me a run down on differences between Suffix hi vis and P-line hi vis. I'm curious because I've been using P-line this season and am quite pleased with it and was wondering if I might be missing out by not using Suffix.Thanks.

The suffix I used was hi-vis yellow. It had low stretch, was extremely supple, and seemed to be quite abrasion resistant. I just bought a couple rolls (quite inexpensive) off eangler.com , and have yet to spool my other rods. I'll post my .02 after I fish it a little more. I did notice that while fishing last weekend in the low 20's it stayed pretty supple and cast well. I like that!

I got some 20 pound, that I'm gonna try on my springer rods. We'll see...
