Super New Sufix Advance Revealed at the 2017 EFTTEX

First look at the Sufix line
Sufix Advance combines a number of characteristics that have never been brought together in one line. It is the first monofilament to incorporate HMPE molecules. The exciting new launch uses a Magnetic Extrusion Process developed by Sufix that draws HMPE molecules towards the surface of the line during extrusion. This blending creates an abrasion-resistant surface without sacrificing suppleness or low memory. When you combine these factors with Sufix’s precision winding system and the line’s slick surface, the result is an easy-to-handle line that will cast long and accurately. 

And it doesn’t end there. The HMPE molecules – the same material used in Dyneema fibres – reduce elongation of the line to the point where it has 50% less stretch than standard monofilament, translating to improved presentation, bite detection and hook setting.

Sufix Advance also offers superior knot strength, say its design team, who recorded 96% average strength during tests using a grinner/uni knot.  Combining HMPE molecules with hybrid copolymers is no small victory as they don’t naturally

New Fishing Lines for 2011 Part 2

PART 2

Another unique trend that was launched in 2009 but only now has caught on is coloured segmented line. Initially intended for trolling, metered line is becoming more excepted with anglers who cast. Trying to keep your jig 15 feet down over a school of walleye? Simply count off the coloured line segments to precisely fish that zone. Cabelas, Daiwa, Trilene, Sufix and Tuf-line offer a version of metered super lines. Even, ice fishing specific lines now come metered. A sure winner when targeting suspended fish this winter.

GORE has made a splash this year. More associated with clothing, it has many superior qualities ideal for line. According to Tom Mc Murray, Normark’s Marketing head guy,  “GORE fibres improve abrasion resistance, increase casting distance & accuracy and reduce line vibration. It is also impervious to chemical and UV light.” Sufix’s new 832 Advanced Superline which uses GORE in its weave won ICAST’s “Best Line” category for 2011. 

New Fishing Lines for 2011 Part 1

What's new for 2011
By Luigi De Rose

This article might seem out of place in May but not really. Many of us rush out and buy line way before our first trip of the year. If you live where you can fish bass every day of the year, consider yourself lucky. Most of us in the northern states or in Canada have set bass fishing seasons that is just opening up now. So, spooling up with new line isn't as weird as it might seem.

Have you bought some new line that's not really working for you? I know I have. It might be time to peel off a few spools and replace it with something better. Here is a guide to what's new in fishing lines for 2011.

All fishing lines are not equal. Many exciting lines are waiting for you this year along with your old favourites. Find out what you’ll need to spool up with this year.

Over the last few seasons, line has become increasing more refined and technique specific. This trend is most evident with smaller line companies. With larger multinational corporations cater to the masses, smaller companies have flourished in developing niche lines. Catering to the needs of the very discerning, these companies, many from Japan, offer unique lines for very specialized techniques. Don’t expect to see these line in every local tackle shop though and be prepared to pay a premium when you do. 

Fluorocarbon
Fluorocarbon’s popularity is still growing.  Price has come down and quality has gone up. Anglers are now comfortable spooling up with it. Clear water smallmouth anglers, trout and salmon guys, fly fisherman and most anyone fishing clear water feel this line is the way to go. Its strong, sinks quickly but most of all, near invisible to the fish. Knotting it can be tricky. Experiment with the Trilene, Improved Clinch or San Diego Jam Knots. Make sure to slobber lots of spit or water on it to reduce friction.
Fluorocarbon is often used as a leader. “Top Shotting” a recent trend spawned in Japan involves spooling 25m of Fluorocarbon. This length of line reaps all the benefits of using Fluoro yet forgoes the problems of the leader knot whacking through the guides and high costs of spooling up an entirely  reel. Currently, only Toray line specifically offers “Top Shot” spools but angler can either buy smaller leader spools or crank on line from larger filler spools.
