Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I'm looking for a quality line in the 10 - 12 lb range. Don't use braid, usually only clear or mono. Any ideas? Just tired of getting medium sized spools that don't last long. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 Yo-Zuri Hybrid Izorline Sunline Super Natural or Sunline Defier Armilo Nylon Line I have not used the Armilo yet, but it comes HIGHLY recommended by several members. It will be the next line for me to try. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I've read a lot of posts that have people using yo-zuri. Is it that good? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 I have been a fan for more than a decade. Most guys like it, some don't. Spinning gear: #6 = 11.9 lb breaking strength Baitcasting gear: #12 = 19.5 lb breaking strength Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I assume you have a roll nearby. What's the diameter of the #12? Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 P-Line CXX in 10 lb. 2 Quote

Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I've used P line and was not impressed at all. And I was wondering. It's the same diameter as the 10 lb I'm currently using. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 CXX and YZ Hybrid are pretty similar handling lined. If you don't luke one, I think you'll be disappointed on the other. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Well, one is a completely different manufacturing process. P line is fluoro coated nylon. And it's performance in my local waters was horrendous. Then again, yo-zuri may be the same. But I know the two are manufactured in two different ways. Quote
DaveT63 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I recommend the Sunline Supernatural Mono. I use it in 10 and 12 lb all the time and love it. Since I'm not sure of all the rules here, if you PM me, I can refer you to a site online that sells 660 yd spools for under $14. They also sell 3300 yd spools for $60. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Well, I'm just going off what the website states. And no, I'm sitting here looking at the box of 100% fluorocarbon P line. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 The Yo Zuri is Florocarbon Coated Nylon. No, it is a bonded fluorocarbon/ nylon blend. It is not coated. Finally a line that makes a difference! Our goal of developing a new revolutionary fishing line was lofty – make a line that was stronger, more abrasion resistant, more sensitive and more durable than any nylon lines on the market. Hybrid is the first and only fishing line that molecularly bonds nylon and fluorocarbon during extrusion. The result is a strong, dense new material that we call Hybrid. Hybrid takes advantage of the awesome abrasion resistance and sensitivity of fluorocarbon, while utilizing the flexibility and stretch of nylon. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I was too lazy to correct him on that. The link you gave clearly showed the process. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 Yup, I love the stuff ( Yo & Cxx ) Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 Ummm, yeah that's all nice how they're made. What I stated was they both handled similarly. You don't like one, you'll probably not like the other. I used my own experience to get at this opinion, not website marketing. 3 Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Is that BPS in just your area or in all of them? I'm making a trip and I don't want to just run up there for one item. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 No deal. Only saltwater leaders. How good is P Line's mono? They've got them in 3000 yd rolls. They also have copoly. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 What do you mean "mono"? They don't make a nylon mono. All their lines are copolymer, fluoro, fluoro coated, or braid. 1 Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 It may have been a copoly. I'm currently away from the computer screen that it's still pulled up on. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 BPS P Line CXX Xtra Strong Mono. Google P Line mono and it should be the first BPS site that pops up. Quote
Trent Wilson Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I looked into it with no luck. I prefer not having to order off the internet. I was shaking because it took a week for rapala to ship my lures. I hate remission. Quote
adam32 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 BPS P Line CXX Xtra Strong Mono. Google P Line mono and it should be the first BPS site that pops up. I'm pretty certain p-line cxx is a copolymer. I've used it for a few years, it's strong but does have some memory especially for the first dozen or so casts of the day. Quote
