    Sufix superior... The diamond is pricey and has not yet earned my respect. In fact its going backward after twenty pound popped with 5lbs of drag not once but three times in a day... one time donating my bird to a 10 lb dolphin, when fishing with Buddy H and Bud light last month...

    DIAMOND HI-VIS

    If you go with Diamond I recomend the Hi-Vis for two reasons.

    1. It is much easier to pick up on the troll and hook-up with multiple lines out there over the Blue

    2. the BLUE milks out and fades way too fast, looks good at first but after just 2-3 trips it fades fast and looks like it's been on your reels for an entire season, The Hi-Vis retains it's bright color much longer.

    I use sufix superior and it is rare i try anything else, but hear good things about diamond, can't justify the price. we also use clear on all rods, i like to see the baits and not lines, color line screws with my eyes looking back at the spread, i dunno maybe it's just my eyes? but when the sun hits just right it looks like some kinda seagull defense system that i see around town to keep em from landing

It looks nice on the reels but can be etremely hard to see on the bright days. I agree with Frank too the suffix is a great bang for your buck. I have used most all them and can tell you each has is good points but you need to ask yourself is losing a big fix worth saving a couple off bucks. Not in my book.
    oh my poor eyes, YELLOW! Don't be surprised if one day you walk on the boat and that yellow fades into clear! it could very well happen and i'm sure you wouldn't doubt it

    Hey you know how it is. The old man can hardly see a 200 lb blue in the bait. How is he going to see faded or clear lines.

    Two more weeks for before the games begin. I hope they both do well.
