last year, i lasted about i month with PP 30#.
To be blunt, it SUCKED. wind knots, break offs, and
no difference in distance, once i switched to Fireline. actually fireline went further, for me.
Love the 30# Fireline and it served me well for the entire season.
Only had to strip two or three times, and no more than 75 yds each time due to normal wear and tear. the one spool lasted me the entire season, and i still have about 100 yds on my spool as the backing for Suffix 30# that i have just tried and like very much for its castability and a "perceived" increased suppleness..................so far, on my 704Z.
have yet to see how it performs under the pressure of a fish, but i hope to get into some reds or snook within the next couple of days down here in the Sunshine State.
the NPT Contingent swears by 55# Suffix when seeking Trophy Bass and after this 30# Suffix trial period i'll prolly go to the heavy stuff to see how it performs at my honey hole when COW time comes

something of interest regarding this topic can be found in the SWEdge's video archives. Pete G did a break test that was very revealing and should prove helpful, 44mike44. for me, the debate is between fireline and suffix, with pp a verrrry distant third and perhaps fourth ~now that daiwa has jumped into the braid game, ahhhhh but that is the stuff of another thread
