Suffix Advanced Leadcore Line

Is the new Suffix advanced leadcore better than traditional leadcore line? It is supposed to run 7ft per color vs. 5ft per color for traditional leadcore.

I cannot answer your question. However I would like to try it. Has anyone see a place that sells it in 36#s?

I ran a couple of rods with the 18# today and was getting more than 5 ft per color. I can't say for sure that I was getting 7 ft per color but I think that might be pretty close. I was running 2.0 to 2.8.

I can't wait to pick this up for kokanee!

I have two rods spooled up with the new sufix advanced leadcore and I would say I get atleast 7ft/color if not 8. In 30 fow pulling #7 flicker shads I can tick bottom with 3 colors out @ 2.0mph....this is with a 30ft mono leader

The 832 leadcore comes in 2 sizes. 12 lb and 18lb. This is made with Dyneema instead of polyester so it is strong like braided line and super sensetive. Both of these lines have 70% higher breaking strength so they allow you to use smaller diameter lines with the same breaking strength. In general they do run 30% deeper depending on speed and leader length.

One caution: Because it is dyneema and not polyester, you have to be careful not to allow it to twist. I suggest using a swivvel when possile between the lead and your leader.

Good luck.

I have been using the 12# because I use a Ambassadeur 6000 reel with limited capacity. I do not get 7 feet per color at 2 mph, but I do get 6 feet. Excellent quality, but the Willis knot is much more difficult because the hole in which you insert the mono is so small. I use back to back unis instead.

I looked real hard at that Suffix advanced leadcore when I went back to scheels to get replacement leadcore when the regular suffix leadcore 18lb on both my rods broke on snags and lost 5 colors on one and 7 on the other even when using a 14lb XT leader and the leadcore had only been out on it's 2nd trip.. I just couldn't justify the 2X cost for the advanced version but if it's that much stronger I will switch to that. I was running from 6 to 7 colors back depending on what diving cranks I had on and I was going through the tree tops ticking the branches so I was going around 30 ft down at 2 to 2.5mph. It would be great to get it that deep with less line out as it takes forever to reel up 250 ft of line, especially when you have a big one on. I do use snapweights and downriggers also but leadcore seems to work the best for me out of all the 3

What would be the minimum reel size for holding 100 yards of 12lb (0.022" diameter) plus 10 yards of leader? Would a size 27 Daiwa AccuDepth be sufficient?

I have 2 Diawa 27's each spooled with 5 colors of the new sufix w/ a 30 ft mono leader and 330 feet of 20lb trilene xt backing....The spool isn't quite full but it is close.
