The difference between Suffix performance and Suffix 832 is that the Performance is a 6 strand all superline, the 832 is an 8 strand 1 Gore Fiber interwoven with 7 strands of Dynema (another brand of superline).The idea is that the Gore fiber would reduce the friction while passing through the guides. I still like the Performance Braid the best...least fray, great distance, great durability, great strength, easiest to get a backlash out of compared to many others.
FINS has a new line... 40g it's a 9 strand braid (8 wrapped around 1 inner core all spectra fiber). Looks promising. Smaller dia. and stronger. A buddy is testing it out..i'll try to keep ya'll informed. If it's better than suffix performance in durability, casting, backlash removal, and ease of use... I'll upgrade but so far It's the old standard for me.
Mono has it's place. I still like it on my topwater rod, but I won't hesitate to throw a top on braid either. And I still know some old schoolers that love their mono and do just fine.
