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.
