yo-zuri hybrid line
 

i was looking a some of the yo-zuri hybrid line has anyone else used this stuff with any luck how does it hold up to rocks

thanks much

Hated it... found it stiff...

It is tough but it sucks. I found it to kind of spring off my reel causing tangles.

my dad was a big fan of it-very strong stuff-he used to spool his schoolie/albie/bonita rod with 10 lb test and 17 on his big rods. he rarely lost a fish due to breakage and he fished the canal a lot.

I think its one of the best mono lines out there, really strong, thin and holds up well. I didnt have any coiling problems. I used 20-30 pound test.

LOVE it! the only mono i use now. 20# on spinning and 30# on conventional. possibly the most abbrasion resistant line i have ever used. do a search and you'll see this debate has come up a good 20 times in the past year.

Love it! 42 pounder rapped around boulders couldn't sheer the 15# hybrid. Minimal abrasion after a long battle in the rocks...

I think the stuff is great. Fished it hard in the river this spring and haven't lost a fish on it yet do to break offs.

I used it for about 4 years...I think it is good stuff. However, in colder weather, you may have more problems with it. For mono, I tend to go with big game.

Sounds like it'll make great leader material if nothing else.

I used pink Ande for years, so I got sorta used to stiff and wiry ;)

I actually like it a l lot. I swithed to braid (stren super-braid) at the begining of this season and hated that. It frayed after just a coupla uses on the rocky shore, then broke off with a schoolie fish on. I peeled it off and went back to Yo-Zuri Hybrid and have since landed some bigguns with no problemo...


Spin

I spooled my 7500 CT with it for plugging the Ditch and really like it. I had to use an albright knot for the shocker though as the uni-knot was pulling through. I don't think it is stiff at all and casts great.

Thanks for posting on this! I must have missed the earlier debates on this...

I was going to have my Penn spooled with it a couple of months ago at M&D's...

Instead, I ended up having gone with braid.

I'll need to make another trip down to see Mike.

I've got a reel there I need to pick up as well...

Thanks again!

i like it. been using it for 3 yrs. on some of my reels (conv & spin). tough line, casts well, no coiling. only used #15 and #20 lb. i switched from big game and have't looked back.

I have a spool of the 50 lb Hybrid I use for shock leaders.

I used the 12 lb on a Penn 5500SS and have a lot of break offs. :(
The stuff took such a set its not funny. May be I wound it on too tight and created the curls? I still have that 1200 yd spool - I'll try it again on a conventional next time.

My Father use 6 lb Hybrid on a Fin-nor Megalite 2000 that works fine (use to be mine - gave it to him).

I had 8 lb Hybrid on a Fin-nor ML3000 and straighted a hook on a big fish when I was cupping the spool to try to slow it down when it took off for the open water.

Super strong for the diameter. Tough outer sheathing. Knots well - good stuff. :)

Trilene XL has never let me down. :D

Maybe I need to give it another shot in warm weather... in the cold, it sucked...

Been using 30lb AN-40 on sand, braid or big game around rocks....

Used it a bit when it first came out - did not like it. Seemed to break easily and was not as supple as Big Game...

I have a 1000 yrds of 40 I use strictly for leaders

I love it, it is the only line I use now. 20 on spinning and 30 on the squidders. I have got some good fish out of some rocky areas fine.

ihated it. i used yo-zuri hybrid fluro for leader now 20 for small fishes like scups and black seabass, 30-40 for surf species. it sucks in a cold weather. cast lousy. bird nest and tangles on spinner. easier to tie knots on them on hooks or terminal tackles.

I use it down the canal for leader material (40lb) with power pro. works well and holds up nice on the rocks.

hated it. i used it on my penn 5500 spinning reel in the fall, and i found that it tangled after every few casts. i thought it may have been because i didn't have enough tension on the line when retrieving my plugs, so i ran it thru my fingers in order to get it on the spool tighter. that didn't matter. every few casts a giant birds nest would happen on the cast, so i would have to reel it in, and then play with the mess while my plug washed up on the beach.

we just started to use it on our spinners, and like it so far.

Methinks this would be a decent leader material. I will have to give it a shot this season.

If been fishing last season with the Yo-Zuri hybrid. Late in the season i noticed the line keeped snapping when I tried to set a hook on a fish when I was chunking bait. It could have been blues snapping my line and not the quality of line. I hate to lose a plug with this line if the quality is poor.
