@mt, to connect the fluorocarbon to the 832 i use a barrel swivel at that juncture. i use the standard polomar knot for both lines to the barrel and for the fluoro to the crosslock snap. i use the snaps with the very rounded part that attaches to the lure now as they impart the least resistance to the lure giving it the best action.   (You need to Login or Register plus they allow for the knot to be perfectly aligned with the loop so that it doesnt pull sideways or any other weird angle.

@mt, also, in reference the difference of power pro vs 832. ive used both and like both. i have 65 lb power pro on my musky baitcaster, love the stuff. for the 15lb test range, i prefer the 832, and by a wide margin. i was having breakoff issues with the power pro, both red and green, multiple different batches from different stores. my brother had a similar experience with yet another batch/store. since i tied on the 832 i find any other superline to be a pain. i had been a huge fireline guy but i prefer the 832 to that as well. doesnt fray as hard as fireline(plus its round, not flat), its a smaller diameter, and doesnt hold water like power pro. it casts amazingly well. i have 2 identical setups, 6'6" medium action extra fast tip rods with abu garcia c3 reels, one rigged with 20lb fireline crystal and one with 15lb 832. both reels have 3 of the 6 break shoes removed as well as the plastic tension disk. using the same lure the 832 casts 25% farther, maybe even more. i understand there is a pound test difference of 25% between the lines, but that doesnt explain the casting difference. suffix is much more quiet on the guides as well, imo.
