| im sorry it was too easy, but 832 kicks off a lot of water which is nice in summer, but your fingers get real cold in cold weather |

| I remember masterbraid retaining a lot of water, my thumb looked like a prune after a few hours of casting |

Location: Hayward, WI | I use both Cortland Masterbraid and Suffix 832. I'm don't know if they are the driest, but they seem pretty dry to me. I tried PowerPro years ago and the Cortland and 832 seem to be quite a bit more dry than the PowerPro was. PowerPro might be a different animal than it was when I used it 6 or 7 years ago...

| I actually really like TuffLine... I've had to many incidents with Power pro backlashing/snapping and wont buy it anymore, although they did come out with a different braid this year that looks similar to the texture/braid of TuffLine, cant remember the model of it but it is power pro forsure and has a brown color. Might be worth a shot |

| I've never quite been able to figure why "dry line" is so important to so many people. While I typically use the Cortland products I don't think they are quite as dry as some of the other lines out there. I fish all season long till ice up and I just don't see dryness as an issue. Educate me. |

| I like PP when new for being drier. the 832 i had was quite wet once it started breaking in. Not to mention bleeding like crazy. |

Location: MN | Suffix 832 gets my vote. I wouldn't say it bleeds like crazy, Jackson. It does fade, just like any line. |

| Well, Pete, when it's 35 degrees and windy, it's nice to have less spray on your hands than more. I've found that it doesn't matter as much what line you use - it all holds more water when it's older than it does fresh off the spool. I've started changing my line in the fall for this reason. Besides - we spend the summer fishing rocks, cutting line off pretty much daily. Another benefit is knowing your line is fresh for those sucker hooksets! |

no it bleeds like crazy.. look like someone killed a martian on the bow of my boat. Maybe i got a bad lot, but my shirt was covered and i had about 500 green spots all over the front of my white boat. It bleeds.. and digs in very well. |

| Line dryness is an issue for me because my thumb gets soaked and pruned from touching the spool after a cast, and eventually my power handle gets wet and slippery. That's why i'm trying to find the driest braid for casting this season. |

| I found my 832 to be very dry. The issue I had with it is that the gore fiber will eventually peel out of the line, causing buildup on the levelwind. This did not cause any noticeable issues, but it was a bit of mess at the end of the season. |
