ChrisWi Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I've been looking at trying HI-SEAS this season, but came across McCoy! Both seem great, I have been fishing P-Line all season and I like it but too much memory? Anyone have experience with any of these lines? Quote

Hey Chris- Have you done a search on the forums on this topic? There is a lot of information that has been discussed already on the subject. There are a lot of us that are Yo-Zuri Hybrid fans, me included. I'm also a fan of P-Line Floroclear. But I use both as leaders only, not mainline. McCoy gets some good reviews, tho I've not tried it. Give it a try and see if it fits your fishing style! 1 Quote
gramps50 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I've used both Yo-Zuri & McCoys and they are both good lines. The Yo-Zuri seems to be a little harder to find, at least in all sizes. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted October 11, 2014 Super User Posted October 11, 2014 Yo & Cxx.. Are the line for outstanding abrasion resistance in rocks... I have used both extensively Lots of users on here that will agree, no line is perfect, you must get use to each line type's characteristics. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted October 11, 2014 Super User Posted October 11, 2014 Here is a fantastic new copoly I really love. Very limp and nice mix of characteristics. Hydralux: http://dynamiclures.com/fishing-line/ Quote
TrippyJai Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Go with McCoy and don't look back. I can get P-Line and Yo-Zuri local and I choose to import McCoy and pay the extra shipping costs. Quote
GoDeep Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I like yo zuri. Very manageable, abrasion resistant, and much stronger than it's rated. 1 Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted October 11, 2014 Super User Posted October 11, 2014 The best copoly is Defier. Anyone that says something else is because they haven't used Defier. Out of your choices above, I prefer Mccoy. Quote
illinifan4152 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 McCoy Mean Green. Minimal stretch, abrasion resistant, very supple. Oh and did I meantion very affordable!?! Quote
sarcazmo Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 The best copoly is Defier. Anyone that says something else is because they haven't used Defier. Out of your choices above, I prefer Mccoy. Not a fan of such bold blanket statements. I have used Defier... Not worth the money IMO. I use McCoy for pretty much everything now. Switched over from yozuri and haven't looked back. Quote
IAY Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 x2 for Hybrid. 12 lb breaks at 19 lbs I can guarantee you that it does not have breaking strength of 19 lbs, it has thickness of a 16.5-17 lb breaking strength line. It handles really well, but no fishing line can perform miracles. Quote
ABW Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 I can guarantee you that it does not have breaking strength of 19 lbs, it has thickness of a 16.5-17 lb breaking strength line. It handles really well, but no fishing line can perform miracles. I am going off of their website. I have experience where I've gotten hung up so I wrapped the line around a thick branch and pulled until the hooks bent out. The line never gave once. Quote

I have experience where I've gotten hung up so I wrapped the line around a thick branch and pulled until the hooks bent out. The line never gave once. Yeah I can see their result, but the two other independent sites that I look at to get some references on shows the line being pretty consistent with strength to width ratio of all of the other lines. Doesn't change the fact its great co-poly. http://www.gamefishin.com/wa/features/linetest.php http://www.sportfishingmag.com/techniques/initial-dry-break-strength Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Is the McCoy knot strength as strong as regular monofilament knot strength? I mean, I caught a nice sized bass in the spring from my kayak using eight pound Suffix mono and pulled it up out of the water a feet or two above the knot and the knot did not break. I know if I was using P-Line Floroclear that knot would have broke. If I try McCoy I want to make sure the knot strength is as good and strong as regular monofilament. 1 Quote

Good luck trying to break the line at the knot. Won't happen. Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 No issues with knot strength. Good luck trying to break the line at the knot. Won't happen. Hope so. I ordered some ten pound Mean Green line from Tackle Warehouse last night. I'll either try it this fall or store it and use it next spring. 1 Quote

bassin is addicting Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 i've used both...and like McCoy better. about the same breaking point. Imo McCoy seems to have less memory and handles better. Quote
Rusty Shackleford Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Which McCoy, the mean green or extra clear? Quote
ChrisWi Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Which McCoy, the mean green or extra clear? either Quote
TrippyJai Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 All 3 McCoy (Mean Green, Xtra Clear and Clear Blue) co-coplymer lines are the same except different colours. Quote
