As products from this year's ICAST near the market, it's worth pointing out a few of the more intriguing developments headed toward store shelves.
One of those is the new Sufix 832 Advanced Superline.
Recently, W.L. Gore & Associates (inventor of Gore Tex and other space-age fibers) had invented a new fiber called Omni-Braid. Back in May of this year, word leaked that Sufix was named as a Gore partner, with plans to incorporate Omni-Braid into fishing line.
Sufix unveiled its new 832 Advanced last month at ICAST and it won the Best Of Show award for the line category.
Here's what Sufix says about 832's specs and performance: "Sufix 832 Advanced Superline is the strongest, most durable small-diameter braid on the market. R8 Precision Braiding and fiber technology provides superior strength, roundness and line consistency. Constructed of 8 fibers (7 Dyneema plus 1 Gore Performance Fiber) and 32 weaves (pics) per inch, Gore Performance Fibers improve abrasion resistance, increase casting distance and accuracy and reduce line vibration. Dyneema fibers provide high strength and sensitivity, hydrophobic water-repellent protection and small diameter."
Certainly exciting, and we'll let BassFans know how it performs after we give it a solid go-round.
