hi i fished the jimmy smith with the sufix tritanium the amount of hassle i had with it was unreal i went through 6 spools of line. i know it was a hard night for it but a few of the lads around me were using the sufix f1 and didnt have as much problems with wind knots. it cost me at least a hours fishing wont be using tritanium again.

Suffix Tritainum only the clear one i find the colored ones tangle alot easier and have bad line lay. Or else Berkley Triline. The only two lines i will ever use. :)
