I dont think its a fluke.  I've gone through a few dozen of these and they have all ran well. 

Tim I think something definitely changed.  I've got a few and two of them will tick bottom in 22 feet on a man-sized cast with 10 lb test Sufix Deep Crankin' Line

Yes it is Jimmie.  I got lucky and get to rep their stuff.  I love it!  For cranking it is absolutely incredible.  You get the depth of flourocarbon but the castability of mono. 

Strength is great!

I promise you would stop using flouro for cranks after using Sufix Deep Crankin' line.  The castablility is the biggest plus.  Performance wise, you can't tell the difference. 

I used to cringe about using 10 for deep cranks but I'm a believer now.  First of all, you get more depth out of your cranks.  But I believe the biggest factor, you get a lot better action out of the crankbait!  Granted, I'm not going to Falcon spooled up with 10 lb test and a big crankbait but at most "normal" lakes it doesn't bother me.

Give it a try.  I feel confident you will like it.

Its all I use for my cranks.  Itll pull up a log and cast a mile.  Not to mention, its 10 bucks for 300 yards.

Right there with you Greg.  Ive got spools and spools lying around.  Ill use 17 - 20lb for flipping.  The stretch allows for some of the impact to be absorbed.

Right.. 6xd.  Cant wait for the silent version to come out.

I use big game 12 for cranking. Can't stand fluoro.

where at?  Tacklewarehouse is still waiting on them.

Back to the Series 6XD's. . . I've pretty much thrown all of my DD-22's away!  Cant stand normans anymore!  Only deep stuff i have in my boxs are SK Series Cranks! 

Someone mentioned that the seris 5 and 6 are bad!  I totally disagree!  I have all from series 4S to series3-6 and tons of the XD!  Awesome cranks!

Suffix DC 12lb-  I wasn't a big fan!  a lot of streatch still and I lost a lot of sensativity compared to the 10 and 12lb XPS i typically use!

Just my .02 guys!

I'm a little partial myself.....lol.  (Try the DT3 when the fish move up shallow.)

I hear you Eric on the DTs. Where I like them is it seems they will wiggle through bushes better than some other. They shine in flooded salt cedars as compared to other round bill baits.

I throw it on 15lb big game. Not trying to get max depth. Im sure braid would work fine also with the right rod.

I got to use the 6XD for first time today on Ray Roberts and I am more than impressed. These will definitely have a place in my box. Are the 5XD just as good?


I use the 12LB Suffix Line, I got a 6XD hung up today in some thick stuff on Ray Roberts, believe it or not I ended up breaking the BRANCH off the tree in 18ft of water and pulled it to the top. This line is super tough and there were no abrasions of nicks on my line. I caught 5 more fish today without retieing and ended up with around 18lbs before the storms blew in.

yes sir, it is good shit!!! 

I have started using the Suffix DC line on my other reels as well, not just cranking.
