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!).
