Longlivenyy Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I'm looking to pick up a 15 lb co-polymer line and was wondering what others prefer. Izorline XXX and Yo-Zuri Hybrid have caught my eye. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Yozuri has treated me well these last few seasons. TW still has it on sale. 1 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Of those two, Yo-Zuri Hybrid. Has treated me very well Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 I like Pline CX for copoly. Good strength and less memory than some of the others. 1 Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Yo or Pline CXX or CX is a good line too, CX is easier to manage in 15 than the others, you may be able to use 12 in yo, it's quite strong and very tough.. 1 Quote
Super User aavery2 Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 I have tried many, always come back to Pline CX. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 I have tried many, always come back to Pline CX. I was always on to P-Line's Floroclear, but for some strange reason I bought like 3 or 4 600 yard spools of Yo-Zuri Hybrid off of ebay. Hence my lack of need for other lines --- for a long time, LOL. But I've still got several spools of P-line. Never tried the CX, always went the Floroclear route. Not sure when I'll try anything else beside YZH, Floroclear and XPS fluorocarbon. Quote

Super User Darren. Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 In terms of strength I do not find much difference, I prefer the manageability of the Pline CX. I can understand that. I have used all these lines as leaders, not mainline. Although early on I did use Floroclear as a mainline, I haven't for years. So much better as a leader. Quote
DFrench97 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Just ordered 12lb Yo-Zuri Hybrid from TW on Black Friday for cranking. Hopefully I'll be impressed. 1 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Good call... 12# Yo-Zuri is very strong and will suit you well. I use as low as 6# Yo-Zuri on my 1/4-3/8 oz jig rod and have loved it. Quote
ChrisWi Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 I like Pline CX for copoly. Good strength and less memory than some of the others. CX has a lot of memory and no abrasion resistance Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 CX has a lot of memory and no abrasion resistance Lol, who told you that? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 1, 2014 Global Moderator Posted December 1, 2014 Lol, who told you that? Someone who doesn't fish with it or someone who fishes twice a year that hasn't spooled up with fresh line in several seasons would be my guess. Pline CX is a very manageable line with great abrasion resistance. Pline XXtra strong has a lot of memory in higher pound test and has a lot of stretch but again great abrasion resistance. Only thing I could think would be fishing it around zebra mussels but I haven't found a line yet that stands a chance against zebra mussels. I like P line CX, XXtra strong, and C21 but I fish Mustad Thor most of the copolymer lines. 2 Quote
thehooligan Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 i regularly fish floroclear, pline cxx, and yozuri hybrid. I use floroclear for finesse fishing, cxx and hybrid for everything else. There both exceptionally strong so i downsize a bit. 8-10lb is the heaviest i need for regular bass fishing. Quote
Longlivenyy Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks for all the info guys! I'm going to pull the trigger on some 12lb yozuri hybrid. Quote

I like P line CX, XXtra strong, and C21 but I fish Mustad Thor most of the copolymer lines. I have to disagree with CXX having a lot of stretch. It is such a hard and dense line it has hardly any stretch and transmits feeling amazingly well. I personally fish CXX but am not against using Izor or Hybrid although I would pick Izor over hybrid. Hybrid is good but it has more stretch and not as sensitive as a harder line. Generally a hard and dense line = the least stretch and most sensitivity possible. But it also = the worst memory possible because of its nature. Pick what is more important to you I suppose. Memory can be overcome with L&L but stretch and sensitivity can't be changed. Sometimes stretch is wanted but generally not much for me personally. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 I have been trying a lot of different lines including a variety of braid/ fluorocarbon combinations. For the most part these new lines are our BassResource sponsors. I have been VERY impressed with the Seaguar lines and TUF-Line. Addressing the OP's question regarding co-polymer, I don't think you can beat Yo-Zuri Hybrid. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 I try other brands but I prefer Excaliber Silver Thread copolymer. When they tested it. It surpassed the abrasion test and bending tests when they compared it to other lines. I have no lost fish due to line failures. Quote
The Fisher Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 12 or 14 lb. Silver Thread AN 40 Low Vis Copolymer - $5.99 at TW - strong, thin, and casts a mile. Read the reviews. Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 1, 2014 Super User Posted December 1, 2014 Both are excellent options. More guys like the Yo-Zuri as it is easier to find than the Izorline products. Quote

ChrisWi Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Trilene Sensation is a much better line than people give it credit for! Has a bit of stretch but tough as nails! Quote
