Yo-Zuri Hybrid 600-Yard Fishing Line

Although designed as fishing line and it does a respectable job doing it, I’ve found it really performs well as fishing leader line. It has excellent abrasion resistance. I have been using Andes Mono for leader line in the past but found this to be every bit as effective but less expensive. I primarily fish for catfish and encounter a lot of RipRap and submerged trees. This stuff holds up. It may be worth a try however you use it. Hope this helps.

A friend turned me on to this unbelievable line. I'd been using Maxima mainline with PLine florocarbon for leader for salmon and steelhead. This stuff is better than both of those with the vis of floro. It's way more abraision resistant than any florocarbon leader I've ever used and I've used a lot. I noticed immediately that this line seemed stronger than the stated test so I decided to do some testing of my own, comparing it to Maxima Ultra-green and PLine floro, using a static dead weight pull. Both Maxima and PLine 10# test broke right around 11 lb. dead weight tension. The Yo-Zuri 10# Hybrid held to 14.5 lb. I thought for sure the Maxima would beat it but this Yo-Zuri was way stronger. The diameter is smaller too. So I bought a spool of 10 lb. for leader, and another of 12 lb. for mainline. With its tensile strength, I'm pretty much ready for anything that swims in our rivers. You absolutely need to try this line. The price is awesome!

At $10 for 600 yards you just can not beat this stuff. I've used 8lb, 10lb, 12lb, 15lb and 20lb and did my own non-scientific line breaking and knot breaking tests and every pound test broke at least 25% higher than it rated breaking strength. And holly crayolas is it abrasion resistant as well.I just couldn't bring myself to spend $15-$25 for 150 yards of 100% fluorocarbon when this stuff is over 90% as good and over 5x cheaper.I wouldn't recommend anything over 10lb for spinning setups as the memory gets to be an issue unless you pay VERY close attention to your spool. But the 12lb and 15lb is my go-to for baitcasters and 12-15lb is my go to for short leaders.Been using it for 6 seasons now and can not recommend it strongly enough.

Good stuff. I like it. Nice feel, strong hook sets. We catch some pretty decent bass in our lake, average about 4# so you get some good bigger bass and it handles them well. Casts nice and has a good feel. I generally stretch all my fluorocarbons and this hybrid line as well about every other time out. Sometimes every time out if I am doing a lot of fishing. Solid line a little pricey but worth it if you fish a lot. If not buy a cheaper fluorocarbon and stretch it once or twice each time out. I have found stretching my line does more for castability of fluorocarbons both on my baitcasters and my spinning rods than anything I do.

I’ve been using Fluorocarbon leaders because I fish in very rocky areas and I need the abrasion resistance. I decided to give these a try because I’ve had too many problems with brittleness. So far I’m impressed with this line. Almost as tough and still flexible as mono.

Best thought of as Mono 2.0, Yo-Zuri Hybrid is an outstanding hybridized line for all-around fishing. Made of fluorocarbon-infused monofilament, it is limp and castable enough for spinning gear, but maintains the qualities found in 100% fluorocarbon. While most manufacturers of 'hybrid lines' simply use a fluorocarbon coating over monofilament, Yo-Zuri found a way to truly molecularly mix both materials together. It does not absorb water, is neutrally buoyant (doesn't sink like true fluoro), has very little stretch, and is very sensitive.This line really shines in applications with crankbaits, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits,swimbaits, and top-water lures. It is also great for throwing weightless plastics! I would not recommend this monofilament/fluorocarbon blend for deeper applications, against heavily abrasive substrates like rocks or shell beds (i.e. texas rig and jig fishing). For those applications, you should use 100% fluorocarbon.This is arguably the BEST hybrid line around. It just lasts and lasts. Expect this line to be serviceable all year when used weekly. It holds up against UV much better than mono.

I was getting sick of paying for Fluoro so often so got this to put on my crankbait rod. Seems good so far, has less stretch than mono but more than most fluoros. It also seems to sink a lot faster than fluoro as well. Can’t speak for abrasion resistance yet but this stuff is awesome for the price.

Line is nice and strong but 30# is thick. Can be difficult to get a knot seated well. Use it for leaders for canal tarpon wishing is SW Fl.

Tried it out with some reservations. This is my go to line for all my flouro reels.Best in all the categories.Low stretchLow visibilityLow memoryHigh abrasion resistanceExcellent strength even if nicked upI felt cheated paying so much more for other top quality Japanese line and yet they have not done as well as the Yo Zuri Hybrid

muy bueno contra la abrasión y casi no guarda memoria

Good quality price item if not expert fisher but wants a nice product

Best line ever for carp fishing, don't buy the latest name or fad buy this. Great knot strength and abrasive resistant, sinks etc, you'll want nothing else after using Yo-Zuri.

Priced lower than most other floro, and works fantastic...no break offs
