Yo-Zuri Hyrbid Line

BigBassin144 · 06-25-09, 03:25 PM

I've been talking with another guy from a local forum that swears by Yo Zuri Hybrid line. He claims his 6lb line has a 12lb breaking strength.

Anyone ever used this? Any comments or problems with it?

Some guy on an other forum really like it too! I would have gotten it put on my new spinning reel... but I couldn't find it!

I use it almost exclusively. 12# has a break strength of 19.5#. Use the ultra soft for spinning reels.

There's something I've noticed about Yo Zuri lines. What they label as 6lb test is actually 10-12, in terms of both strength and diameter. That way people think their line is incredibly strong, when in fact, it's simply labeled it as a lower # test than what it actually is.

MAybe it's 6kg test.

Hey, if NASA can make a billion dollar units error, so can Yo-Zuri.

Yes sir indeed, it does break at a much higher rate than labeled, that´s what it makes it great for finesse applications, thin diameter and extremely strong and abrassion resistant.

Now if you want something even tuffer, try P-Line CXX, man, you uproot stumps with that thing and it doesn´t even cough.

yozuri is all I use.

I use Yo-Zuri Hybrid for just about everything except a couple rods spooled with braid. It's the best all around line I've found yet. I like the Ultra Soft for spinning reels, for casting reels the regular Hybird is fine. It's actual breaking strength is about 30% greater than the stated line test. My color preference is green or smoke and the flurocarbon coating gives it similiar light refracting traits, while being more supple (especially the Ultra Soft) with better knot strength than pure flurocarbon. Yo-Zuri is reasonably priced and it's completely replaced mono for me.

As for the comment above - that Hybrid line has a larger diameter (and therefore greater strength) than mono - is BUNK. Comparison: The line diameter of Ande Premium Mono in 6# test is 0.010, and Yo-Zuri Hybrid in 6# test is exactly the same, 0.010. Information was obtained from their respective websites.

Sensitivity is superior to mono due to the low stretch of co-polymer line, and is similiar to pure F/c.

Thanks guys, what's the sensitivity like compared to Mono or FC? I'm assuming somewhere in the middle?

If you are thinking that the .010 gauge equates to 10 #test, you are mistaken. Gauge and test strength are two different measurements.

I have used P-Line CXX for the last 5 years on my spinner rods and I'm a fan of copolymer line. I resently respooled one of my rods with the new CX copolymer, florocarbon coated line (at the suggestion from the owner of a local bait shop) and the sensitvity and strenghth is incredibale! And this line dosen't even know what memory is.

Very true.

Here a comparison to some other lines

test / diameter(inches) / breaking strength(only on Hybrid)

Yo-Zuri Hybrid
6 / .010 / 11.9
8 / .011 / 12.0
10 / .012 / 16.5

Sufix Elite Mono
6 / .010
8 / .011
10 / .012

Trilene Sensation
6 / .009
8 / .010
10 / .011

Trilene XL Mono
6 / .009
8 / .010
10 / .011

Seaguar InvisX
6 / .008
8 / .009
10 / .010

So it's about the same compared to other monos and copoly lines, but like other monos and copoly line, it's thicker than most fluorocarbons.

Hey guys, I'm aware of what Yo Zuri says the diameter of their line is. What it actually is differs quite a bit. If you can't tell by looking, check it with a micrometer and you'll see. I have a spool of "8lb" right now that is every bit as thick as my 12lb Pline.

Go to ( www.tackletour.com ), they have done some reviews and comparisons on different lines. bigbasser
