Hi Lars,
I think i should be clear in what i say, so i dont go stirring up anything, but the lines i was talking about were matrix pro, and herculine. (We also had gyro, but tis a real entry level rope, oops i mean braid). I probly also should have mentioned that what we were selling these lines for was 99percent reef fishing, as we dont have a huge popping contingent here (god only knows why not, it is growing though).
We would continually have complaints of the line parting extremely easily, being hard to knot(i realsie that is a statement that is relative to the ability of the user). Biting into itself(again relative to the user)strangly enough we had alot of complaints about it being both to thin and breaking under its rec strain.
Again workin in a retail situation i completely recognise that alot of people are uneducated in the best ways to use braided lines and to get the most out of there lines, but in saying that, it is extremely rare that we get any complaints at all about Tuffline.
This is by no means an attemp to undermine the quality of suffix lines as i have no doubt, as you have stated yourself, that for some people and situations it is more than sufficient for the job they need done.
My apologies Lars if my first statement was at all out of line, was only attenpting to shed a different angle on it. Hopefully this answers your question.
Dave
