832 2025
Robert Riley reply :
So it sinks? I surely hope it wont stink. 
bigturtle reply :
What?
Robert Riley reply :
Suffix 832
bigturtle reply :
Why would you think it will sink?
Robert Riley reply :
I was choosing a new line at F&S and a guy I see there regularly and I got to talking. He said it sinks, "that's why it's got that gore fiber" is what he said.
bigturtle reply :
Haha, that guy doesnt know what hes talking about, it doesnt sink.

When suffix 833 came out in-fishermen did an article about how it was going to be a game changer because it had the sensitivity of braid but sank like fluorocarbon because of the heavy "gore" fiber.
Does it sink? Dont ask me I've never tried it.
RoLo reply :
Out of curiosity Bob, would you rather it floated, or would you prefer that it sank?
I'm not being facetious

Iv fished it, and so have many of my friends. It doesnt sink, thats just marketing BS. Tackletour even did a review on it, read it.http://www.tackletour.com/reviewsufix832braidpg3.html
Sufix advertises gore fiber helps with abrasion resistance, tackletour and myself both found it to be questionable. Is not bad, but certainly not better than any other braid.
QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
I have 20# 832 and let the line loose on the water for over a minute and line was still floating. Its ok line but for its price would choose a couple other lines ahead of it.
fishnkamp reply :
I like Suffix 832 a lot. I use their lightest 10 pound test for panfish. It is the diameter of 4 pound mono. We have it spooled on some line counter reels and troll for fresh water white perch. We use the worm rigs for live crawlers like they do for Walleye.
I use some heavier 30 pound for throwing rattle traps for stripers and some 20 pound on a 6 foot light BPS Extreme rod I throw weightless and belly weighted swimbaits like Flukes and Reaction Innovation Skinny Dippers. I would not hesitate to use this line. It casts well, is strong and rather thin for it's pound test. In my opinion it is softer or more supple compared to say Power Pro. I prefer Power Pro in applications where I want a weed eater like frogs, punching, pitching and flipping.

It floats, I've used it in 40 and 65 lb and would second everything @fishnkamp said.

I don't really care one way or the other, I have no reason to try any suffix brand lines.
I was just saying that when it came out in-fishermen did an article saying it was a game changer because suffix was advertising it as a sinking braid.

Another advantage of the gore fiber is that it doesn't absord water like braid can, therefore it will not freeze for the walleye guys that are fishing when its cold. Just something that I've heard. Please correct me if I am mistaken!

In theory I guess this makes sense but my 40lb came back dripping when I was using it.
OnthePotomac reply :
Finally went to 50lb Sufix 832 on my frog rod and it is perfect for the task.
Robert Riley reply :
hm... I'll be trying it out shortly. I wouldn't mind it if sank though, but I guess it does not haha
WPCfishing reply :
Sink.. hell i'm in the heavy stuff most of the time with Jigs, toads and frogs etc... what I can tell you from experience is Power Pro casts better and doesn't lose it's color like 832 and it's a lot tougher braid.
I have one reel with 832 that I generally use for lipless, spinner baits and square bills. 832 gets very limpy and wind knots easily.

Well you sir are correct. I had more wind knots than fish. Unfortunately I couldn't get one of them out

That "gore" is PTFE.Brand name is known as Teflon.Super strong and abrasion resistant.I assure you it floats though.

I guess I could see the confusion since actual PTFE has a density about twice that of water and would in fact sink, I'm not sure if 832 just blends some PTFE fibers into it or is mainly made of the stuff, but whatever the reason it does in fact float.
Mumbly reply :
I really thought that I would like 832 so bought 5 spools last spring. I tried it on several baitcasters and spinning reels and was disappointed with the handling and castability compared to power pro.

i believe that its 7 strands HMPE woven around 1 strand PTFE.
Angry John reply :
Where is the why. People say the don't like something and leave out the most inportant part. I like 832 it handles well for me and I have never broken off. It ties knots much better when used a little

the gore fiber is supposed to mitagate shock to the line therefore acting as a shock absorber to the other fibers . decent line but the coating they put on the line is sticky causing the line to stick to itself causing '' under '' runs . tried it for a bit but eventually took it off ...
MassYak85 reply :
I like the stuff, I really can't say that's it's better than power pro but I can't really say it's worse either. Only complaint I have about either of them is that 832's green color bleeds more than power pro but that's really a non-issue in my book.
RoLo reply :
Long story short, if you think of Sufix 832 as neutrally buoyant, you'd be doing yourself a favor.
The lame buoyancy of braid is roughly on par with the lame sink rate of fluorocarbon.
