Yo-Zuri Hybrid: Ultra Soft Or Regular For My Revo Sx?

[TNBassin']

I'll probably go 10# too. 12# is what? .13 and 10# is .12?

I've never tried the US on a Baitcaster. Does it dig...

Not at all. I have used most every line you can think of and YZ US behaves as well as any IMHO. Crazy strong and never had a knot fail. I really like not keeping track of many different line types and no longer buying line that never gets used. Now I buy Ultra Soft in 1 pound spools. 10 & 12 lb for BC and 6 lb for spinning (some 50lb Power Pro for slop). Change line often and use KVD line conditioner and I just don't sweat about line anymore. Makes my fishing more fun.

Well, I'm not sure I know the difference between "soaking in" and bonding,

but you will find a very noticable difference in the line after using the

line conditioner.

I just ordered Yo-Zuri Hybrid 12# for my new Lew's TP and am hoping it works well as an all around line. I know it supposedly sinks a little bit but the only thing I do on slack line is flukes. But I will have to see how it works with top water poppers and spooks since I use them frequently.

It is a fine medium for all baits. I have 12# on my Curado 50E that I use as my all around setup for fishing around town canals. Handles all types of baits no problem, and is tough enough to pull fish from weeds and cover.

Is the Ultra Soft more manageable than the regular? If so, why doesn't anyone just use that?

I don't use regular YZ at all. Ultra Soft works on every reel I own. About 20 at last count. I use braid on my flippin stick and surf rod/reel (Straidic 6000).

I have one spool of regular 12#. I will tell you it is strong. I got snagged 2x between rocks and it took me a good while before being able to break it off at the knot. I haven't put any conditioner on it. Ill try that to see how much of a difference it makes in the line but its been pretty good for me out of the box.

I've been using yo-zuri 12 for a while now with no issues. I'm not even using line conditioner. You can get 600 yard spools for cheap on flea bay. I'm actually thinking of going down to 10 bc it's so manageable.

10# is what I'm leaning towards, since it's diameter is close to the diameter of 12# XL. Just a tad smaller and rated at a higher breakage strength than typical 10# line.
