mhilgtx Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I recently bought a roll of 12lb BPS KVD Floro for my first dip into something other than mono. and man o man the difference in sensativivity is amazing. So my question is do the copolymer or hybrid lines have the same type of sensitivity? I assume they will be much softer. Quote
tater555 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 From what I have experienced the hybrid lines (copolymer) are just a tad less sensitive than flouro, but alot more manageable. But I have to admit that the only flouro I have tried is seagar red label, and the only copolymer I have tried is yozuri hybrid. I now run yozuri hybrid on all my rods except for my flipping rod and have no problems detecting bites, plus the breaking strength is amazing with it. 1 Quote

Haven't touched flouro since I discovered Yozuri 1 Quote
Preytorien Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I use YZ Hybrid and McCoy Mean Green and both are incredibly limp. After I treat it with KVD Line and Lure it hangs off my spinning reel like braid.....no twist. I love the stuff. Quote
Trenton Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Wow so the hybrid is that good? I've been looking at it for some time now but haven't bought any just yet. I rarely string up a full floro spool mostly use it as a leader for clear water or drop shot/finesse techniques. Might have to look into yozuri Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 3, 2015 Super User Posted March 3, 2015 Hybrid all day ..only thing floro is good for is crystal clear water and small bass That has to be one of the funniest post ever..... only good for small bass..... ha ha Quote
kikstand454 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I also experimented with various flouro's. ... but in the end I went back to YZ hybrid on all rods except flippin and frogs. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 4, 2015 Super User Posted March 4, 2015 I tend to use a fc in 6 for wacky rigging, Yo for about everything else, with cxx, and cx being used as well. Silverthread is a good line. However, I'm now very concerned that I will Only catch small bass on FC line! What shall I do? Quote
mhilgtx Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks guys I am making the switch. How is it with bottom contact? Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted March 4, 2015 Super User Posted March 4, 2015 Yo-Zuri is a great all purpose line. X2 Have used YH for about 5 years now in many applications..awesome overall line. Like the low stretch too My only negative is that it appears Yo-Zuri is now only making the line in clear. I really liked the Camo Green... Anyone have any scoop why it's going to only one color? Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 5, 2015 Super User Posted March 5, 2015 Thanks guys I am making the switch. How is it with bottom contact? Plenty good, a good rod helps as well as doing your part.. = Success! Quote

Shop around, Yo-Zuri is still making green and smoke. Green blends better in clear water, smoke in stained water. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 5, 2015 Global Moderator Posted March 5, 2015 Well... I use floro for all bottom contact presentation's except punching matts. Yo Zuri for all moving baits. Right or wrong it works for me. Mike Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted March 5, 2015 Super User Posted March 5, 2015 Wow so the hybrid is that good? ....... Might have to look into yozuri Its better, so good I just bought a 3lb spool in pink! That's 14 THOUSAND yards 2 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 6, 2015 Super User Posted March 6, 2015 The more I think about these "which line is best " threads, the more I believe that it's like asking "Which brand of gas and what octane is best to use in my vehicle ?" They all work but everyone has a favorite which often revolves around performance & price. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 6, 2015 Super User Posted March 6, 2015 As I've said on this and many other threads,I'm a YoZuri fan. However I have to admit that I have some nagging doubts when I read monthly Bassmaster and every single pro is always claiming that they're spooled with flouro Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted March 6, 2015 Super User Posted March 6, 2015 There are no rules to which line to use, or reels or rods....... use what works for you. Quote

A-Jay Well you should use the recommended octane level for the vehicle as to the brand I have always been told to switch up as often as possible due to slightly different detergants and other properties brand to bring. In general gasoline is gasoline is gasoline the differences being the additives. At least that is the way a TMC USA engineer explained it to me one day. As far as lines go it might be the same I don't know,but I am trying to learn. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 6, 2015 Super User Posted March 6, 2015 I, too, have BPS fluoro (white box) and do use it from time to time. But I mainly use Yo-Zuri Hybrid in green for my leaders. One reason is because I have bought so much of it (for cheap) in 600 yard spools. That lasts a LONG time when used as a leader!! So I agree that it is a great all-around line. I have no problem using it for bottom contact, wacky, TX, Mojo, Jika, cranks, spinnerbaits, etc. Quote
