Sunline Super PE

[Partizan Fk]

Hey guys just want to know what experience guys have had with this stuff.I have 8lb on my reel.Ive had afew wind knots id expect that until the line settles.It casts great but getting wind knots out its a mongrel.I used Berkley Fireline Exceed with success with a wind knot all i had to do was pull and the knot came out but this stuff i pull firmly and it breaks.Should it break so easily?

My 6lb Super PE always broke when I wind knotted, so I changed braid all together ahahah, I am using Fireline at the moment but I am going to change soon to Castaway..

I use 8lb Sunline super and love it, 6lb i had nothing but wind knots, never had an issue with 8lb though.

[JustJiggin]

Yeah 6lb is shocking, I had nothing but wind knots as well, Everyone seems to have the same i wonder why

Same here with the 6lb, I have taken it off the reel I had it on. Prefer to spend my time fishing not picking out wind knots.

I was going to go the 6lb lucky i opted for the 8lb.

[lukereneeseth]

use 6lb sunline on my reels, never had a wind knot that hasnt been my own doing (leaving line hanging over the top of reel knob from slack winds on windy day).. in saying that, thats only happened twice.

ive caught big everything on this line, last decent fish being 91cm 5.5kg jewie.

as for 8lb, i'd asume it to just be a tad stronger.

wind knots have nothing at all to do with the line... its the person casting.
hence why theres always someone that get "wind knots" from every single braid on the market.

[Partizan Fk]

Oh ok id like to know how is it my casting?I have an interline im thinking my leader is too long.The Diawa site says use 25cm.Hmm its about 30-40cm atm.

Disagree mate same outfit same angler only thing that changed is the line.

6lb Super PE wind knots
put 4lb FINS on and no wind knots over three days fishing

[JustJiggin]

Fins is too thick for my liking

Could be the leader although it seems to be a very common problem, i don't have issues with any other line really just had it with 6lb Super. There seems to be a real mixture of opinions some having no issues and some having heaps of issues???

I think my casting is okay and i know others who's casting seems fine so how can it be put down simply to casting style?? Could be a mixture of things such as how it is put on the spool, leader length, types of knots used or its just more prone to wind knots for some reason, ect ect. Easy fix for me though i just won't buy 6lb again

Hey mate i think im with you.Ive just Pm'd a member for some 5lb power pro to give a crack couldnt hurt.I have some toray egi line 10lb that i can cast the guts out of and its good that will be my last option.
Whats the Power Pro like?

[Breamobsession]

I like Power Pro in the lighter stuff, have not used 5lb but have used 3lb with no dramas.
