Sufix Stretch Braid

[Winnie]

Tacklewharehouse sells it, but not in the 10/4# test. Does anyone know anywhere else that sells this line?

I don't know who sells it But, I have to ask: if your buying a braid with stretch why? The main advantage to a braid is no stretch= being able to feel everything that's going on at the end of the line. So if your buying a braid with stretch why not fish mono? Alot cheaper. Just a question I had to ask.

One advantage could be for trolling. The thinner diameter will help you get deeper while the stretch will help with not pulling hooks out.

I only read about it, but I think the stretch braid only has 5% stretch compared to the 16% or so of mono. It was in the FLW magazine not long ago.

The Sufix stretch braid only has about 6% stretch, not the 20-30% in mono. Huge difference. Also, like ColumbiaR says above, I want it for the trolling application advantages he mentioned. It gives you the thinner diameter of braid, but the element of stretch it has softens the blow when trolling. I used the 15/6 last summer because that's all I could find and it worked great, but I got tired of all the depth conversions in Precision Trolling.

Anyone seen this line in 10/4# anywhere?
