I tryed that before,knot would get caught in the guides and lost alot of casting distance. Do you have the same problem?

Only have that problem when I use larger than 15 # leader on A rod that has micro guides. I'll show you how I do it sometime so the knot stays slim

Got suffix on my newest spinner and it has presented no problems at all. Very tough line and if you're like me...in the trees all the time...it proves how tough it really is! Lol

I have power pro and suffix on my reels. Between the two I like the suffix better,alot smoother line...also more expensive. I prefer 30lb test..does not dig into the spool like the 20lb or smaller.

U should not use fluro on tw plugs . Fluro sinks causing your lure to dive n sink ....maybe that's why we never see any you post any topwater reports =D

I have used power pro and suffix.They are both great.I decided on suffix,20-6.I use a 12-18 inch floro leader behind a 20lb spro barrel swivel,with a rosco, size 52 stainless snap to change lures fast.I have never had this snap open on a trout.If you try to roll in a big red with a super tight drag they will straighten it out...

I have used a blood not and do not like the way it feels running thru the guides Good Fishin !!!
