I use suffix i think it is one of the best on the market today. I use their heaver lines for catfishing pike and salmon. Works well in rocks and brush.

I have heard good things about Sufix, but I am still a Trilene guy. I have used Maxima before and found it to be a little stiff, but very durable. I do not like the Iron Silk, but I know a lot of people like it. Once again, line is line and most likely its made in the same factory like much of the fishing equipment these days.

I spooled one up last night to go to the river this weekend and let me tell ya, it looks like a spool of silk and goes on just as smooth!! WOW! now lets see it in action!

I have Suffix on a couple muskie set-ups (65 & 80) and a couple bass (30lb) as well. I really like it, packs well on the spool, smooth, and casts well. Cost is about the same as P Pro, but I may switch more over from PP to Suffix.

I've used Sufix ice line, and was impressed probably my favorite ice line to date. VERY limp, with little memory. One minor drawback is that is has a little higher stretch than I'm used to, but the other positives outweighed the negative.

I hope it is good, I just spooled up 12 Walleye rods, 14 pike rods, 8 musky rods and 5 sturgeon rods with it. I tried it out last year and was very impressed with it. 32 boxes of line it better work out.

I used it for Musky and catfish last year and it out performed my old standby Whiplash that turned into Spiderwire Stealth. Cast better, knottted better and tougher then a boy named Sue.

So you guys talked me into trying this line and I have it on two reels. I was getting that itch so I was getting my rigs all ready. The line is jumping off the spool. It is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. I put my line on all the time and did nothing different, but if this is how Sufix performs out on the water, I am going to freak out. I am seeing some twist in the line, but it should not effect it that much. Any suggestions? Someone told me to start the boat and let the line out the back (no lure) and that will remove all twist and memory issues. Can anyone confirm this? And yes, I know that the line needed to be put on the same direction as the spool itself.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
