Sufix 131 G-Core Braided Line

This line is smooth, very smooth, as smooth as a baby's butt.   Well not, but being a 12 strand weave around a GORE Performance Fiber core line, it's by far the smoothest line I've held in my possession.  It is also one of the most expensive line I've purchased at just shy of $40 retail for 150 yards.  I purchased two spools, the 6# and the 10# spools.  According to Sufix listed diameters the 6# is at .14 mm and the 10# is at .20 mm.  These match up with the same test # and diameters of both Sufix 832 Advance braid and the old Performance Braid.  One of the things I like to do now is give it a line performance tensile test.  I like to check it with a knot strength tied onto a Spro swivel #10 and after learning the FG line to line join knot I check the line strength on that as well too.

I gave it three trials successively on the same line.   Meaning if that I were to fish with such line on there and I break off, I want to know if the line will stay usable after I retie.

The results for a knot strength test.

Sufix 131 G-Core Braided Line 10# .20 mm:  12# 4 oz., 11# 9 oz.,  11# 12 oz.

For the FG knot line to line join I was looking for a good high yield result.  Although I did have some weaker knot breaks results they were still higher than a knot to the swivel.

In comparison to various other 8 strand braids their line strength is much higher overall but still within parameters.  I suspect that the 12 strands + GORE fiber just being much thinner are giving out under stress a bit sooner.  However the knot breaks has a consistency more so than any of the other 8 strand braids I've tested.  That part on the product description holds validity.  As so far, I haven't decided which reel to spool the line onto yet.  I do plan on both spinning and casting reels.  Looking forward to using this line.
