WhiteMike1018 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Is yo-zuri hybrid coming off the market or something? I see cabellas nor bass pro shops has it in stock anymore and *** also has it on clearance... If this is happening its a sad day for me and fishing alone....I've never fished with a line as strong and as abrasion resistant as this...I also have seen a spike in price and a drop in listing on ebay...I'm sure if you have a Japan connect you can always have it but unfortunately I dont. Anyone know whats going on? -Mike Quote
Super User Darren. Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 Noticed it's on clearance at TW, as well. BPS has dropped the amount it carries in-store, and that's over the past couple years by my reckoning. No idea if it's being discontinued/replaced. Would like to know as well. Quote
ABW Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I hope it doesn't get discontinued. Awesome fishing line for the price Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 It's been tough for me to find, my Bps.. Stock slowed down a couple years ago, last fall.. No more at all. Idk what to think at this point..I still have some, time to place a order I do believe.. Quote
kikstand454 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 The only place I have ever had it in my area is sports authority. They have it randomly now. Bps, academy and dicks doesnt have it here. I order it. You guys are scaring me. I switched to yozuri so long ago. ...I don't even know what I would switch to if it was gone. Quote

Just got 600 yds of 15 lb. at their labor day sale. Price doesn't seem to have changed, at least not that I've noticed. Google Yo-Zuri Hybrid. Quite a few places still carry it. Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 Mainly i'm seeing less of the ultra-soft, but a little bit of both, the 12lb ultra soft in clear is my go-to light-medum flipping line seems the ebay sellers are running very low on stock as well...something is definitely going on Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 They have it in my Wal-Mart at least 40 spools from 8 lb to 30 only in clear though Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 They have it in my Wal-Mart at least 40 spools from 8 lb to 30 only in clear though can you buy and ship me some 15lb? and are they the 600yd spools or 275? Quote
papajoe222 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I haven't seen their copolymer hybrid in a few years, but their fluoro/nylon and ultra soft are still being carried in the 600yd spools at our local shops. The BPS and Cabela's stopped carrying it over a year ago. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 They have it in my Wal-Mart at least 40 spools from 8 lb to 30 only in clear though Down here too. Quote
John G Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 My local Walmart has it but it's expensive compared to eBay. Quote

Not sure if it's clearance, but TW prices are dirt cheap for camo green, smoke and ultra-soft green. Clear looks to be normal price at the moment. Quote
kikstand454 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 ^ yeah but they have next to NO 600yd spools available. Getting genuinely concerned after poking around a bit. ..... Quote
Super User CWB Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 Looks like they have 5+ of every size of clear offered except 15lb, which they have 4. 5+ is I believe the max they list they have in stock for anything. Could be supply and demand. 600 yds clear only $2.00 more than 275 yds. I believe most people choose clear anyway but could be wrong. Looks like the other color prices are listed as SALE prices.Might be moving them in anticipation of a new introduction? Personally I didn't care for the ultrasoft. Used it for cranking and it seemed to break pretty easily. I recall others having the same issue. Looks like quite a bit left on Ebay. Anyway, has anyone contacted Yo-Zuri? Go straight to the horses mouth. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 Just come to the darkside, and switch to CXX, lol. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted September 16, 2014 Super User Posted September 16, 2014 I tried CXX this summer and I'm going back to Yo Zuri - seems to have less memory. Also, I have had three separate instances where PLine CXX broke off in the reel after a backlash must have kinked it. Not to say it wouldn't happen with Y, but I never saw the 'creasing' like P-line.

Super User FishTank Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 I have not been able to find it anywhere either, just on line. I bought a bunch of it a few years ago and I am still going through it. I think I have 2 600yard spools of 12lb, 2 spools 600 yards 10lb, and 1 spool 600yards of 6lb still left. I picked these up at BPS for $4 each. It's great line and I never have an issue with it. I just prefer regular Fluorocarbon. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 CXX or CX ... Is good line too... I got a few thousand yards of it, I wish I could find YO for $4 a spool! Quote
5fishlimit Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I'm happy I bought a 1lb spool of 10# test (5800 yards) when I found it a year or so ago. I'll be good for a while. ☺ 1 Quote
Super User Raul Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 Just come to the darkside, and switch to CXX, lol.That was exactly what I was going to say. If Hybrid is no more there still is CXX. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 CXX or CX ... Is good line too... I got a few thousand yards of it, I wish I could find YO for $4 a spool! look on the auction site. 2,4,6 lb are around $4 for 600 yds. Quote
Preytorien Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Just picked up some ultra-soft 6lb for my finesse reel.....this particular seller on eBay had quite a bit. I only bought it because of the great feedback people gave it, and I need a non-braid line this time for this rig, so I'm giving it a try. I'm usually a CXX guy and I love it, so I'm hoping I'll be wowed. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted September 17, 2014 Super User Posted September 17, 2014 Yo-zuri does not seem to be ending things as I initially thought. They still feature Hybrid and UltraSoft on their web site. Now this doesn't mean Hybrid isn't ending or getting upgraded, a new formula, whatever. I also picked some 600 yards of 6lb green Hybrid on eBay with free shipping from a buyer with 100% rating, $10. There was cheaper out there, but this is what I picked. P-line Floroclear is still a go-to line for me, but I've been back to using Hybrid in 4, 6, and 8 lately. I prefer Floroclear 10# - 15#. Since it's all leader material for me, 600 yards will last me a looooong time. Quote
