I have fished Power Pro classic and Slick 8 in 40 lb and 50 lb. Love it!! But, I am looking to set up a "heavy" chunking outfit. I am looking to pick some some 80lb braid.

To be honest, I am on the fence about whether to go with Power Pro Slick 8 or Suffix 832. Both lines have their strengths. For example, Power Pro Slick 8 is thinner by 2 lb of mono equivalency. Suffix 832 is a tighter weave with an one GORE® Performance Fiber for more abrasion resistance.

I have seen DIY YouTube videos that compare these lines. But, let's just say there are less than scientific. :-(

Has only fished both of these lines? If so, what are your impressions?

Thank you in advance for your valued feedback.
