Tuff Stuff® The King of String®

Capt. Brendan Burke ~ Over the past 30 years I have tried every line imaginable. All I use now is Tuff Stuff®. I depend on great line in order to catch great fish and Tuff Stuff® definitely measures up to my standards. Tuff Stuff® has superior knot strength and durability that make Tuff Stuff® a must in every captain's arsenal. (world famous SportFishing captain, billfish fisherman, tuna fisherman)
Richard Patton ~ I have tried them all and Tuff Stuff® is the best. Tuff Stuff® stands up better than any other line. (top angler, Architect)
Capt. Anthony Mendillo ~ I have had great success with Tuff Stuff® monofilament and fluorocarbon fishing lines. Tuff Stuff® is the best line on the market. (Isla Mujeres, Mexico charter boat captain; you have read about him in Sportfishing magazine and elsewhere)
Capt. Karl Anderson ~ Tuff Stuff® Fluorocarbon is the leading edge. I feel that I have a definite advantage when using Tuff Stuff®. (top tournament fisherman, competitive SKA angler)
Capt. Mike Maher ~ I bottom fish, and the battle is won or lost in the first 10 seconds. Tuff Stuff® has the brute strength to hold up when other lines cost me fish. (Florida fishing guide and commercial fisherman)
Capt. R. Andrew Cummings ~ "Fly, spin and baitcasting - skiff or surf, Tuff Stuff® Monofilament lines and Fluorocarbon come unsurpassed in performance, knot strength, durability and consistent quality. Tuff Stuff® is the only product on the market that I use, I wouldn't have my clients use anything else. Tuff Stuff® is the definitive choice for terminal tackle needs." (Cape Cod, Massachusetts fishing guide)
Capt. Matt Pitmam ~ I am pleased with the Tuff Stuff® Monofilament line. We fished the Jacksonville Anglers South Florida Billfish Tournament between Christmas and New Years. After spooling my Penn 12t's with 20# Tuff Stuff® Pro Angler™ Hi-Vis yellow and 60# Tuff Stuff® Fluorocarbon wind-on's with 50# Fluorocarbon tracers, we went 7 for 11 on sails in 2 days of fishing. The next boat had 2 sails. Obviously he wasn't using Tuff Stuff®. With a couple of double headers we saw first hand the advantages to the Hi-Vis. Even trolling in somewhat choppy seas, the Hi-Vis offers immediate adjustments to the spread and practically eliminates run-aways. We will definitely continue using your products. (charter boat captain, Blue Thunder Fishing, competitive SKA tournament angler)
Dave Reed ~ First, I wouldn't even consider selling a line or leader that I wouldn't personally fish myself. When I did fish the Tuff Stuff® Pro Angler™ I knew that I had finally located the "Super Generation" of line that I had been waiting for. It's been my experience that once my customers have tried these products, I know that I have earned their confidence. (Eye Catcher lures, Hatteras Lures, manufacturer)
Capt. Brent Bowman ~ "When you have a 50# King on for $50,000.00 in cash ... other lines just aren't tuff enough. Tuff Stuff® is the only line I'll use." (Donzi/Sundance Marine Fishing Team, competitive SKA angler, Tuff Stuff Pro Staff)
Robert L. Slay ~ Tuff Stuff® is a superior grade of line that gives me an edge. I have landed more and bigger fish since starting to use Tuff Stuff®. For example, on the 19th of September 2000, the largest fish I have ever caught, 43# Grey Grouper from the port side of the F/V Anglers Obsession in 90 feet. Took approximately 6-7 minutes to land the Grey Grouper. (RM1, USNR)
Capt. David King ~ The name says it all. Tuff Stuff® is the toughest line I have ever used. I would recommend Tuff Stuff® to everybody. (Top captain for bottom fishing in Ft. Pierce, Florida, Little Adam Charters, Ft. Pierce, FL)
Capt. Derek Sullivan ~ Tuff Stuff® is the best brand of monofilament that I have ever used. Tuff Stuff® is definitely better than Momoi or Jinkai. (sportfishing captain)
Capt. Sammy Talbert ~ We tried most of the major brands of heavy monofilament leaders on the F/V Freedom but none impressed us as much as the Tuff Stuff® 500#. Tuff Stuff® is all we use now and we buy it in the largest skeins available. I wouldn't use anything else for heavy tackle fishing. (world famous sportfishing captain, F/V Freedom)
Capt. Sandy Smith ~ In the past 2 years I have reeled in $200,000 in winnings on the SKA tournament trail using Tuff Stuff® Fluorocarbon. Many fishing professionals agree Fluorocarbon line catches more fish. Tuff Stuff® takes Fluorocarbon line to the next level by combining strength and durability with low visibility to provide the best fishing line on the market today. (competitive SKA angler, Gatorbait Fishing)
Capt. Alex Adler ~ With over 30 years of charter boat fishing in the Florida Keys, I have tried all kinds of lines. Tuff Stuff® is the most abrasion resistant, the strongest and has the least amount of stretch of any line I have ever used. (famous captain, Islamorada, Florida Keys)
Capt. Cookie Murray ~ When every fish counts, having confidence in your line is crucial. The high strength to diameter and extreme abrasion resistance of Tuff Stuff® gives us that crucial confidence. (world famous captain, the #1 Bluefin Tuna fisherman in the world)
Capt. Jim Hardee ~ As a fisherman, good monofilament is the key to success. Tuff Stuff® Premium Monofilament has all the necessary properties I need for a superior catch. Tuff Stuff® is strong, thin, soft and durable. Tuff Stuff® Premium is a real producer. (commercial fisherman)
