SUFIX 131 TTW takes a look at the latest braided line to enter
the Sufix range of products. Demand is hot for the
award winning SUFIX 131 Super line.
Unquestionably, The
Sufi x brand has a
plethora of fans all over
the world with products
that can easily satisfy the
demands of anglers across
all disciplines. Get your
hands on its latest catalogue
and you’ll see that the brand
has all anglers covered. From
Ice fi shing lines, to big game
lines Sufi x is not a brand
that stands still. With its
recent addition of Sufi x 131
Braid, anglers can now enjoy
a braided line that makes
all the difference through
its cleverly and carefully
constructed process.
Sufi x 131 has been built
with 13 fi bres for unmatched
consistency and reliability
and after EFTTEX 2018
everyone has been waiting
to get their hands on it.
The line won the Best New
Braided Line award at the
show, and for a good reason.
Built with 13 fi bres (12 HMPE
fi bres + 1 GORE Performance
Fibre at the core), Sufi x
131 is the only 13 carrier
braided line to feature
GORE Performance Fibres
on the market today. Sufi x
partnered up with W.L. Gore
& Associates to build this 13
carrier fi shing line. The great
benefi t of the GORE core
is that it is a slick, highly
abrasion resistant textile
fi bre which protects the
braid from internal fraying.
The construction is
consistently stronger than
lines with less carriers, with
fewer weak points. This
greatly reduces unexpected
line snaps when casting
heavy lures and fi ghting
big fi sh; and improves the
knot resistance. Also, the
13 carrier construction
increases the number of
fi bres at the knot, which
ultimately results in a
cleaner knot and a much
stronger holding power.
Sufi x 131 has the roundest
structure on the market,
compared to any other
similarly categorised braid.
Rounder line reduces the
resistance in water and
leads to less abrasion
damage over time. Round
line also casts longer and
more accurately thanks to
its lower friction through
rod’s line guides.
The addition of a GORE®
Performance Fibre through
the centre of Sufi x 131
removes the issues that
development, Enrico Ravenni
said, “Creating a true
innovation in fi shing line is
no easy task, yet year after
year our Sufi x engineers
manage to develop products
that were never thought
possible.”
The Rapala Angler
and Swedish Pike Fight
competitor added, “The silky
smooth properties of Sufi x
131 along with its roundness
make it the best casting
super line that I’ve fi shed
with so far.”
It is clear, that the Sufi x
team has raised the bar with
its exceptional design and
engineering work.
Sufi x 131 is now available
in some South Pacifi c and
Asian markets, and will
be offi cially launched to
consumers in Europe in
January 2019.
most 12 carrier lines face.
Due to the manufacturing
process of 12 carrier lines,
they are left with a hollow
centre which collapses,
fl attening the line, or it fi lls
with water when under
use. This causes incredible
stress on your line and huge
internal abrasion created by
the rough HMPE or Dyneema
fi bres rubbing on each other.
Reduced internal abrasion
considerably slows down
the reduction of the line’s
liner strength, giving the line
a longer and more reliable
lifespan.
In addition, the Gore®
Performance fi bre at the core
of the line is a solid fi bre
and will not collapse under
pressure like HMPE carriers
would, further enhancing
the line’s consistent
roundness.
