The 19lb is great for cleanish beaches, and sits well on 6500 size reels.
The 24 is better suited to the 525, speedmaster size reels and is great for mixed ground using a 15lb rotton bottom system, low diamiter is great for cliff fishing.
It is nice and stretchy, just wind right down before you set the hook and the stretch will help pull the fish out the snags.
Imo of course.

I've got the 24lb in yellow. I also got it from bagnalls on grey street.
I got it on a recommendation from my mate , but I've had nowt but bother every time I've been snagged up the line has been breaking up by the top of the rod. I think I have a bad spool as my mate has had no problems with it.
As already said it casts very well and knots very good too

if the line is breaking at the top of the rod , check that you rod guides are not cracked and causing the problem , this is top quality line and should not be doing that

I use Sufix Tritanium in 0.45 mm and 0.50mm. Excellent line with breaking strain usually slightly higher than stated and excellent abrasion resistance.
But I must admit the only problem I have had is that sometimes if am am snagged I have to pull like crazy to get a break it is so strong. As Stewart said it is stretchy so you need room to pull and I sometimes get the break at my hand or close to the rod. I think I know why this is happening. If you are using pulley rigs or similar without rotten bottoms then the main line and hook snood can be 60 lb breaking strain so the weak link is the main line itself and with the high abrasion resistance it has no weak points so the weak point can be where you are holding it (or where it touches the pier wall :-( ) when you are pulling for a break. This seems to happen most with new line which backs up the high abrasion resistance theory.
If I am using flappers or clipped down rigs then the rig breaking strains are usually lower often with the hook snoods parting or the hooks straightening when you pull for a break.

if you use a heavier shock leader it should snap at the knot joining leader to main line , thus stopping it snapping near the rod

I've used the stuff in 0.35, 0.40 & 0.50mm for a number of years & find it excellent. The heavier line (0.50) over rough ground, with a bimini-twist to a 60 or 70lb shock-leader is virtually unbreakable..last summer I fished the whole season up the coast with a single fill on two reels and although it was getting a bit raggedy it was still capable of snapping 50lb hook lengths or 80lb rig bodies if the rotten-bottoms failed.

The only thing I've found that seriously weakens it is a bad kink - it'll usually snap there the next time you get a fast-had (although that's probably true of just about any line). The heavier stuff also seems less stretchy than the thinner stuff - I've certainly found most other heavy lines to be a lot more stretchy than the Sufix (worst of all being that F1!). Anyhow, it certainly ticks all the right boxes for me, I just managed to stock up a bit on the old red 0.35 stuff that I like, although need to stock up a bit on the 0.50 (just a shame they don't make the red any more, I'll probably go with the yellow stuff as the red was dead easy to see at night!).

If you let your reel overrun a little at the end of a cast it can result in a kink and this is where your line is likely to break when going for the pull.

Yeah, that's the only way I've found really to damage it - usually when fishing a club comp at night and i've changed reels over to one that's just been filled and forget to be careful for a cast or two…result: a bit of a fluffed up cast and a knackered batch of line from the get-go lol!

The only other thing, as previously mentioned, is a damaged ring - especially the tip. A lot of close in snappages is usually a pointer to a cracked ring-insert.

There's definitely no cracks in any of the rings , that's the 1st thing I checked when it happened. It happened on the one spool of 24lb I got. It may be a dodgy spool who knows. I won't be put off by this as it has been recommended to me by so many people

[mick dunn]

Brilliant line and as strong as ----. Just bought the same spool as you. I was using 15lb strain and that is very good.
