Hit the beach east of the CBBT at 7. Incoming tide. Stiff westerly breeze. First cast with conventional outfit my Suffix line breaks and I launch a brand new Crippled Herring a hundred yards of line into the stratosphere. Doh! I tie a Dirty Dick (don’t laugh) on my spinning outfit, cast out, and snag the line from the conventional outfit retrieving a hundred yards of Suffix and the Crippled Herring. HooRah! A half a hundred casts later I surprise myself by catching a fat 24” striper on my Dirty Dick (don’t laugh). I always surprise myself when I catch a fish. After a half hundred more cast, I left pleasantly happy with my success. When I get back to the whip, I can’t find my keys. Doh! I return to the beach and search and search only to find the keys in the bottom of my waders. HooRah! I go home before causing any more damage.
Has anyone else had similar problems with Suffix. The line was kinked and crimped and somehow just separated. It wasn’t the force of the cast, but more like the line just broke down and disintegrated deep in my reel. I wash my reels thoroughly after every trip and the line was relatively fresh - only used 4 times. I like the physical qualities of Suffix, but this isn’t the first time it has broken on me. What are other’s experiences? Any other good hi-vis lines with low memory and thin diameter? Check out the medium Dirty Dick or Kastmasters while the fish are feeding on silversides and shrimp.
