New Fishing Line (Sufix and Seaguar)

Has anyone else tried this new line?
http://www.sufix.com/FishingLine/ProMix.htm

I picked some up at ICAST last week and got around to spooling it up last
night on my night fishing rod. This is the Clear/Blue Fluorescent line.

Since I have a night tournament coming up next weekend, I want to try it out
before getting on the lake, then regretting it if it didn't work right. As I
was spooling it up, I noticed that it didn't have the "white" look to it as
Stren does. It really looked clear, even when held in the light of a lamp. I
was worried that the spool had been marked wrong, so after dark I went out
to the boat and hooked up the black lights to see if it would glow. Sure
enough, it did... and really stood out in the darkness.

I'm heading out to the lake Tuesday evening to see how it performs in the
water. If it acts the way I anticipate... I think I've found a new brand of
fishing line.

I also picked up a spool of their Tritanium which is very clear too! It's
not the fluorescent line, and is super clear. Also, very little stretch that
I can tell for now.

As for the Seaguar (http://www.seaguar.com/store.html?p=5)... has anyone
used this for freshwater? It appears to be a pretty decent line too, but
I've never used a pure fluorocarbon line before.

Seaguar Grand Max is the S**t when it comes to Fluoro in my opinion. I have
used it almost exclusively (also use P-Line CFX). The break strength is
amazing. I have landed numerous steelhead over 10lbs on 4lb Grand Max, I
believe 4.7 or 4.3 is the actual weight, I can't remember. Plus
fluorocarbon is inherently abrasion resistant. The only real crap I have
found for Fluoro is Vanish, I wont touch the stuff ever again, at least not
in the light version, maybe 12lb+, but nothing under 8lb.
It is pricey, but definitely worth it , again in my opinion.

Hope this helps, if need any specifics drop me an email.

I started using Seaguar on my C-rig leaders after reading one of Warren's
posts about it.I was using Trilene XT green but the rocks and stumps on the
bottom here were chewing it up,and usually I found out too late that it
needed to be changed.
I know the Seaguar is stronger,less visible,and a lot more abrasion
resistant.

I use almost exclusively Seaguar CarbonPro these days. It is the best clear
line I have ever used for durability abrasion resistance. I do have several
spools of P-Line Flouroclear as well, and it is good line, but tends to show
some abrasion or delamination after a hard day of fishing in heavy cover.
The Seaguar does tend to sink so it can be a pain when fishing topwater
slowly, but a coating of flyline wax on the first 20-30 feet fixes this.
One person I know suggested using chapstick so it could be easily reapplied
if need be.

I still tend to throw Power Pro (fused braid?) in really thik stuff, but I
am throwing lighter CarbonPro more of the time.

I have recently cranked some decent bass out of thick grassbeds and stadning
underwater trees using 12lb Carbon Pro, and I have started throwing 8lb for
anywhere there are fewer trees. The stuff will hold up all day long trees,
and for several hours bounced over riprap.

I did seem to have some knot strength problems using a Palomar knot. When I
switched to a modified Trilene knot with seven twists my problems all went
away.

P.S.
Modified means the tag goes up through the over all loop before tightening
similar to a modified clinch knot, but the double pass through the eye of
the lure like a Trilene knot.

P.P.S As a little kid my dad taught me to tie a modified clinch knot with
seven twists and called it a fisherman's knot.

P.P.P.S.
Many people tie a clinch knot or Trilene knot with 4 or 5 twists. That
seems to be not as strong to me.

P.P.P.P.S
The Trilene knot and clinch knot have been claimed to slip by a couple
people. I have not experienced this. Perhaps turning the tag end up
through the over all loop as in the modified version of the knot reduces or
prevents this. I also tend to leave a quarter inch of tag after finishing
the knot. Many people I know clip the tag right next to the body of the
knot.

I'm absolutely loving that Yo-Zuri that Jack Dalzell sent us at the Classic.
I spooled the 10# on my spinning reels and it's really smooth. So Jack, if
you've got any extra I'll take all you want to get rid of.

Yozuri is very hard for my eyes to see. I know that's suppose to be a good
thing for fishing, but if you can't see the stuff... it's a bad thing.

The Yo-Zuri absolutely glows under black light.

Well, I'm a new devotee to Yo-Zuri. If I can't see it, then maybe the fish
can't either.

The smoke color yozuri is practically invisible in the water. I'm with you
Jerry, I love the stuff, The mix of florocarbon and nylon on the yozuri
really stands up to rocks ,trees, sticks and toothy critters, Low memory,
low stretch, fantastic stuff IMO, I've had fish come up and compliment me on
it ;-)

Yeah... that was one of the reasons I used the whole spool. I could fish
with it during the day without thinking that the white appearance (like
Strens Fluorescent line) was spooking my fish, then turn around at night and
use the same line with the blacklights.

However, this Sufix line is clear too, but without that dark tinge of
whatever is in that Yozuri line that makes it blend in with the background
of the water. Also, being a true fluorescent line... it sticks out like a
sore thumb in the blacklights!
