Sufix 661-104 Monofilament Line Review
Our verdict
The Sufix 661-104 delivers 330 yards of clear 4 lb monofilament for $9.99, backed by a 4.6 star rating across 181 reviews. It is a light tackle spool, not a heavy line class option, so it earns its keep on panfish and trout rigs rather than anything that pulls hard.

Anglers running ultralight spinning reels for panfish, trout, or other light bites who want a clear, thin monofilament and a low per-spool price under ten dollars.
Skip if
Skip it if you need a heavier line class for bigger species, since 4 lb test has a low breaking strength compared to the 80 lb Sea SS44-80 or similar heavy monofilament in this lineup.

181 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A morning on the bank chasing panfish or stocked trout calls for line that disappears in clear water and doesn't overpower a light bite. The Sufix 661-104 is built around that scenario: 330 yards of clear nylon monofilament rated at 4 lb test, spooled at 2.08 ounces, sold as a single count for $9.99.
The spec sheet keeps things simple. It is a straight monofilament, not a braid or fluorocarbon blend, and the 4 lb rating puts it firmly in finesse territory rather than anything meant for pulling drag against a big fish. At 181 reviews and a 4.6 star average, the feedback volume is modest but the rating itself holds up well against nearby options.
Lined up against the other monofilament spools in this comparison, the Sufix sits at the budget end. The Maxima MOSS30 runs $26.23 with 538 reviews at 4.7 stars, the Sea SS44-80 is $13.99 with 988 reviews at 4.5 stars and an 80 lb rating, and the ANDE pcw-50 is $12.99 with 492 reviews at 4.7 stars. None of those are direct substitutes for 4 lb test, which makes the Sufix 661-104 the pick specifically for light line needs rather than a general upgrade.
Pros
- 330 yards of monofilament on one spool for $9.99, the lowest price of the four lines compared here
- Clear color keeps the line low visibility in clear water conditions
- 4 lb test suits light spinning setups and finesse presentations
- 4.6 star rating across 181 reviews
- Nylon monofilament construction with the stretch typical of the material
- Compact 2.08 ounce spool, easy to store in a tackle bag
Cons
- 4 lb test is too light for bigger species that need heavier line, unlike the 80 lb Sea SS44-80
- 181 reviews is the smallest sample size among the four lines in this comparison
- 4.6 star rating trails the 4.7 stars posted by both the Maxima MOSS30 and the ANDE pcw-50
- No bought-last-month volume is listed, so recent demand isn't visible
- Only offered in clear, with no alternate color listed for this specific spool

Performance notes
The specs point to a light tackle spool rather than an all-purpose line. A 4 lb rating means the line is meant to load up on ultralight or light spinning reels, where the goal is a thin diameter and low visibility rather than raw strength. Nylon monofilament carries some stretch, which helps absorb a light strike without pulling the hook free on small fish. The clear color is suited to clear water where a visible line can spook wary fish like trout. At 330 yards and 2.08 ounces, the spool holds enough line to fill several smaller reels or respool one reel multiple times, and the 1 count packaging means it ships as a single spool rather than a multi-pack.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 181 reviews is a solid rating, though the review count is lower than the three alternatives shown here, which range from 492 to 988 reviews. That smaller sample means the rating is based on fewer data points than something like the Sea SS44-80 at 988 reviews and 4.5 stars. No bought-last-month figure is reported for this listing, so there is no recent purchase volume to weigh alongside the star rating. Taken together, the pattern suggests steady satisfaction from a smaller pool of buyers rather than the higher-volume validation seen on the other lines in this set.

Frequently asked questions
What line weight is the Sufix 661-104 rated for?
It is rated at 4 lb test, according to the listed specs. That places it in light or ultralight territory, suited to panfish, trout, and other light bites rather than species that require a heavier line class to handle their pull.
How does the price compare to the other monofilament lines here?
At $9.99, the Sufix 661-104 is the cheapest of the four lines compared, undercutting the ANDE pcw-50 at $12.99, the Sea SS44-80 at $13.99, and the Maxima MOSS30 at $26.23, though those alternatives carry heavier line weight ratings and target different species entirely, so the price gap reflects more than just brand positioning.
Is 330 yards enough to fill a reel spool?
330 yards on a single spool is generally enough to fill one or more light spinning reels, or to respool a reel several times over its life, depending on the reel's line capacity and how much line is lost to break-offs.
