If I recall correctly, Skippy has been a pretty big proponent of Suffix on here in the past, so take that with a grain of salt as well.
X2,
I have some power pro slick on one reel. I don't care for it, but this video is just silly.
Let's start off with the first red flag. He is using used line verse never even spooled line. Most guys I know cut a few feet of line off after fishing. Why? Because it gets nicked. Red flag #2, he never keeps the same length of line or a constant angle. Obviously that will alter results. Red flag #3 we never see an up close shot of either line.
Also, it seems like, but hard to confirm he is holding the suffix with a little slack in it which would obviously change the results.


Hell, I won't use PP again, but see the problems with this video.
