I've played with the clear Hybrid and it's good, but the knot strength isn't even near what the purple stuff has. The clear may have an optical advantage, depending how much you believe in that.
Take 50 clear and then take 50 pound purple. Tie the same knot in 2 leaders with the same hardware and then attach one end of the leader to something you can get a good grip on, and then attach the other end to something solid. Then smoothly pull.
Compared to pretty much every 50# test fluoro and mono we had on hand, the purple Hybrid dominates due to knot strength almost every time. It wasn't the most scientific of tests, but the advantage is typically so obvious you'll never need a scale to notice it.
It was a slow afternoon in the SWE a few years ago when we took the time to figure this one out...
The bonus is obviously that Yozuri Hybrid is as cheap as anything out there and it's awfully tough among the rocks.
I'm will always be loyal to true fluoro for tuna though.
