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
Stepping up from panfish gear to bass or walleye tackle means needing a bit more backbone in the line without jumping all the way to heavy saltwater strength. The Sufix 661-112 fits that gap: 330 yards of clear line rated at 12 lb test, listed as braided technique, weighing 0.13 pounds, priced at $13.57 for one spool.
The 12 lb rating is a meaningful step up from the 4 lb and 8 lb Sufix spools, giving more margin against a stronger fish or heavier cover without adding the bulk of a big-game line. Clear color keeps the presentation low visibility, useful in clearer freshwater lakes and rivers where line shyness matters.
Against the comparison set, the 661-112 lands between the ANDE pcw-50 at $12.99 and the Sea SS44-80 at $13.99 on price, while its 4.6 star rating outpaces the Sea SS44-80's 4.5 stars but trails the 4.7 stars of the Maxima MOSS30 and ANDE pcw-50. Its 136 reviews are the fewest of the four, which is worth weighing against the higher review counts elsewhere before deciding how much confidence to place in the rating alone.
Pros
- 12 lb rating provides a meaningful strength step up from lighter panfish line
- Clear color for low visibility presentations in clear freshwater
- 4.6 star rating across 136 reviews, ahead of the Sea SS44-80's 4.5 stars

- Compact 0.13 pound spool weight for easy tackle bag storage
Cons
- 136 reviews is the smallest sample size among the four lines in this comparison
- 4.6 star rating still trails the 4.7 stars of the Maxima MOSS30 and ANDE pcw-50
- 12 lb test is well short of the 80 lb rating on the Sea SS44-80 for big-game use
- No bought-last-month figure is listed for this spool
- Priced higher than the ANDE pcw-50 at $12.99 despite a lighter line rating

Performance notes
A 12 lb rating places this line solidly in mid-weight freshwater territory, strong enough for bass, walleye, or similar species without the bulk of a heavy saltwater line. Listed as a braided technique line made of nylon, it likely offers a thinner diameter for its strength than a comparable straight monofilament, which can mean better casting distance and less visible line in the water. The clear color continues the low-visibility approach seen across the lighter Sufix spools in this lineup, useful when fish are line-shy in clear water. At 330 yards and 0.13 pounds, the spool is light enough to carry as a backup while still offering enough length to respool a reel more than once over a season without adding noticeable bulk to a tackle bag.
What buyers say
A 4.6 star average across 136 reviews reads as a positive but smaller data set compared to the other lines here, which range from 234 to 988 reviews. The rating itself sits ahead of the Sea SS44-80's 4.5 stars despite that smaller sample, though it still falls short of the 4.7 stars posted by the Maxima MOSS30 and ANDE pcw-50. No bought-last-month figure is available for this listing, leaving review volume as the main signal. Overall the pattern points to a well-regarded line among a more modest group of reviewers rather than the broad validation seen on the higher-review-count alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Sufix 661-112 best suited for?
Its 12 lb rating suits mid-size freshwater species such as bass or walleye, offering more strength than light panfish line while staying lighter than big-game spools like the 80 lb Sea SS44-80 included in this comparison, all in a clear color for low-visibility presentations.
How does 136 reviews compare to the other lines?
It is the smallest review count among the four lines compared here, well under the Sea SS44-80's 988, the Maxima MOSS30's 538, and the ANDE pcw-50's 492, though its 4.6 star average still holds up well against that larger group of reviewed products.
Is the Sufix 661-112 a good value at $13.57?
It prices between the ANDE pcw-50 at $12.99 and the Sea SS44-80 at $13.99, both of which carry different line weight ratings, so value depends on whether the 12 lb strength class matches the species and cover you are actually fishing.
