Sufix 604-106 Monofilament Line Review
Our verdict
At $16.99, the Sufix 604-106 provides 330 yards of 6-pound test monofilament and holds a 4.6-star average, but that score rests on only 289 reviews, a fraction of the 4,500-plus review base some rivals in this category carry. It reads as a solid light-line option with a thinner track record.

Anglers who need a light 6-pound test line for finesse presentations, panfish, or clear-water trout fishing, where a thin, clear monofilament in a manageable 330-yard length fits typical ultralight spinning reel capacities.
Skip if
Skip it if you want line rated for heavier freshwater or saltwater targets, since 6-pound test is built for light finesse work, or if you prefer a line with a longer, better-established review history to lean on.

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
Ultralight anglers chasing panfish or working clear water for trout often reach for a thinner, low-visibility line, and that is the niche the Sufix 604-106 fills. It packages 330 yards of clear 6-pound test monofilament for $16.99.
The 6-pound test rating sits well below the 80-pound and 40-pound-plus test weights that heavier lines carry, which puts it squarely in finesse and light freshwater territory rather than anything meant for big fish or heavy cover. The 330-yard length, confirmed by both the stated 11,880 inches and the product's feature line, is enough to fill an ultralight spool with backing to spare across a season. At $16.99, it costs more per package than the $12.99 ANDE pcw-50 or the $13.99 Sea SS44-80, though both of those carry a heavier pound-test rating built for different fishing.
Where the Sufix trails the field is review volume. Its 4.6-star average is close to the 4.7 stars posted by both Maxima's MOSS30 and ANDE's pcw-50, but those ratings rest on 538 and 492 reviews respectively, while the Sufix has only 289. With 0 units reported bought in the past month, the same as the three alternatives listed here, none of these lines show fresh momentum right now, making the rating history the more useful signal.
Pros
- 330 yards of 6-pound test monofilament, confirmed by the stated 11,880-inch length, gives a full ultralight reel spool plus backing
- 4.6-star average rating, competitive with the 4.7 stars posted by Maxima MOSS30 and ANDE pcw-50
- Clear color finish suits low-visibility presentations in clear water
- Priced at $16.99 with a light 6-pound test rating specifically built for finesse fishing rather than a generic all-purpose line
- Nylon monofilament construction matches the material used across the other lines in this comparison
Cons
- Only 289 reviews back the 4.6-star average, far fewer than the 538 to 988 review counts posted by the alternatives here
- 0 units reported bought in the past month shows no recent purchase momentum, though the same is true of the other three lines compared
- 6-pound test is too light for anglers targeting larger fish or heavier saltwater species
- At $16.99, it costs more than both the $12.99 ANDE pcw-50 and the $13.99 Sea SS44-80

Performance notes
The numbers here point to a specialty light-line product rather than a generalist. A 6-pound test rating is meant for finesse presentations, spinning reels loaded with small diameter line, and situations where fish are line-shy in clear water, not for horsing bigger fish out of cover. The 330-yard length, backed up by the listed 11,880-inch measurement, translates to enough line for a full ultralight spool with room to re-tie repeatedly across a season without running out. Nylon monofilament construction, the same base material used across the Maxima, Sea, and ANDE lines in this comparison, gives it stretch and manageability that many anglers prefer for setting hooks on lighter tackle. The clear color option is a standard choice for anglers who want the line to disappear against the water rather than stand out, which fits the finesse-fishing use case the test weight already points toward.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average is a strong score on its face, but with only 289 reviews behind it, the sample is considerably smaller than the 538, 988, and 492 review counts posted by Maxima's MOSS30, Sea's SS44-80, and ANDE's pcw-50 respectively. That makes the rating directionally positive but less battle-tested than the alternatives. None of the four lines in this comparison, including the Sufix, show units bought in the past month above 0, so purchase momentum is flat across the board right now rather than being a specific weakness of this product. The relatively high per-star score paired with a thin review base suggests a smaller but consistently satisfied buyer pool.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the spool on the Sufix 604-106?
This line measures 330 yards, which the listing also states as 11,880 inches. That is enough monofilament to fully spool an ultralight or light spinning reel and still have backing left over for re-tying across a full season of fishing trips.
Is 6-pound test line strong enough for bigger fish?
Not really. A 6-pound test rating is built for finesse fishing and lighter species like panfish and trout, not for horsing larger or harder-fighting fish out of cover. Anglers after bigger targets should look toward a heavier test weight, like the 40 to 80-pound lines built for that purpose.
How does the Sufix 604-106 compare on rating to similar lines?
Its 4.6-star average sits just under the 4.7 stars posted by Maxima's MOSS30 and ANDE's pcw-50, though those two have accumulated 538 and 492 reviews compared to the Sufix's 289. All three ratings point the same direction, just with different levels of review history behind them.
