I was all Fireline, but gave suffix and PP a shot last year. Suffix and PP is one in the same IMO, didn't notice a benefit of either in the 50lb range.

I noticed alot of guys use heavier line poundage on conventionals, is there a reason for this other than to minimize birdnests? Or do you just fish area's where heavier line is needed?

I have 65lb PP on a 704 and it works fine.
