Thinking of trying Suffix on my new 50 VSW's. Any opinions? Not too sure about trying Momoi, heard too many differing opinions, but seems most like Suffix...... Going with 80# for sure as far as line weight. | ||

| I've used Momoi Hi-Catch (not Diamond) for the last five season with no problems...other than abrasion resistance. If you're intending on doing any shark fishing, I'd go with Suffix (seems to be a little tougher). Not sure how Suffix tests out, but I'd guess that's close to its rated strength (given the number of top guys that use it).

| Yeh, I should have put that they will be used for sharking mostly 8-) Hence the 80# test. Are you sticking with the Momoi still? | ||

| My outfits took a beating in the Star Island tournament. We had 17 sharks to the boat in two days and fought most of them (the non-qualifying fish) from a dead boat. Naturally, I've got some wear on the line. I'll most likely have them respooled with the Momoi....at least for now.

| I prefer my 50s with 130 JB hollow core spectra thus allowing for maximum line capacity. Then a top shot of whatever mono or flouro you want. Spectra also eliminates the need for yearly or bi-yearly line changing. Down in the gulf we will fish straight spectra on our 50w's for jerking Amberjacks and Grouper out of structure. Brad | ||

| Yeh that was another option but I wound up with the Momoi...... However, I think next spooling will be Suffix. | ||
