kingmotorboat Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 What's everyone's opinions. I'm completely out of line and need to respool. No one here carries yo zuri either Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted May 12, 2015 Super User Posted May 12, 2015 What do u mean by Co polymer? Almost all line us a co polymer, by that I mean its a mixture of different types of nylon or fluoro, or a mix of both of those. I suggest ordering YZ from an online sporting goods or flea bay, big fish sports is a real store that sells yz cheap on flea bay Quote
kingmotorboat Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 I'm talking about in the vain of yo zuri and cxx or floroclear Quote
Preytorien Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I use either YoZuri Hybrid Ultra Soft or McCoy Mean Green for river smallmouth fishing, and it seems to be very sensitive, well handling, and low memory. Overall, both lines are great. Quote

Preytorien Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 That's the answer I was scared of cause no one sells neither around here lol Ha, I hear ya. I can't think of anyplaces near me either. I got mine off eBay. It's so inexpensive, even after you add in shipping it's darn cheap and works great. The YoZuri is some of the best casting line I've ever used, its incredible. I like McCoy for it's manageability. It hangs off my Stradic like my braid does, just limp as overcooked spaghetti. Quote
The Fisher Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I use Silver Thread AN40 and it has been very good to me. Don't have a comparison to other lines because once I try something I like to stick to it. It's very limp, thin and strong. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted May 12, 2015 Super User Posted May 12, 2015 Yo-Zuri is probably my favorite rubber band line. If you need stretch and clear, it's a great line. Predictable, manageable, cheap and pretty darn tough. It's all you can really ask for in a copolymer. Quote
kikstand454 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 @ rubber band line. I guess compared to braid or aircraft cable it is stretchy. Otherwise its just fine. Order your copoly online. TW or wherever. I get almost all my YZ off fleabay. 2 Quote

Order your copoly online. TW or wherever. I get almost all my YZ off fleabay. Agreed. $12 for 600 yds all over the place. Killer deal IMO I don't mean to describe the line's stretch as a negative, but going from braid to YZH requires a mindful approach to hook sets haha Quote
robster80 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 love mccoy. use the extra clear and clear blue Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted May 12, 2015 Super User Posted May 12, 2015 If you won't, can't or don't want to order online, then you are at the mercy of what is immediately available in your area. CXX & CX are great copoly lines as well as what has already been stated.. 1 Quote
Shockwave Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I'll have to look into Yozuri myself. I tried Izorline and have been pretty happy with it so far. I didn't know Yozuri was THAT cheap tho! Good to know!! Quote
Turtle135 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I just put some 17 pound test P-Line CXX Crystal Clear on one of my baitcasting setups. Fishing after work today. Will post an update tonight. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 12, 2015 Super User Posted May 12, 2015 Most Sensitive Co Polymer Out There? I'll say that each Type of line (Braid, Fluorocarbon & Nylon) have certain characteristics that are associated with it. As far as sensitivity goes - I don't find it to be much different brand to brand. Frankly I adhere to the belief that "sensitivity" is a Skill possessed by the angler more than a product of any part of one's tackle. In my experience, what does change quite a bit brand to brand and something that may be just as important (or perhaps even more) is knot strength, size vs. pound test ratio, abrasion resistance along with durability / longevity. The lines mentioned here all have a decent track record making them worth looking into and there are many others in this category that can & do work well. A-Jay 2 Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Mccoy and yo-zuri are the best copolymer out there, anything P-line sucks Quote
Super User Darren. Posted May 12, 2015 Super User Posted May 12, 2015 What's everyone's opinions. I'm completely out of line and need to respool. No one here carries yo zuri either P-Line Floroclear is very good (in my experience) and it's carried at Bass Pro, other locales. CX or CXX would serve well, too. In the mean time, you can hit up eBay for some 600 yard spools of Yo-Zuri Hybrid for less than ten bucks. 1 Quote
hatrix Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 Never tried McCoy. CXX is more sensitive and less stretch then yo zuri Quote
Turtle135 Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 Tried out the 17 pound test P-Line CXX Crystal Clear tonight. First impressions are positive. It has that look of clear blue Stren so the line is very visible above the surface of the water. Should be good for presentations that require line watching. I had a sense of the memory issue that I have read about before with this line. Was not such an issue that a 3/8th ounce football jig could not negate. Will have to test some more with a weight-less presentation. It has about the same diameter as 14 pound test Trilene XT which I use so frequently. I had no problem detecting a 17" largemouth taking the football jig at the end of a long cast and a normal hookset did the job. Did not have enough time tonight to determine if sensitivity is an improvement over Trilene XT but I did not find any negatives about the line that would be a deal breaker so far. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 13, 2015 Global Moderator Posted May 13, 2015 While not technically a copolymer, Sunline Defier Armilio fishes very similar to copolymer but handles like mono but has lower stretch. I've been fishing it on my jig rod for a few months now and have been very impressed. It's similarly priced to fluorocarbon, so if savings is what you're after then look elsewhere. If you want a line that handles like mono, transmits bits like fluoro, with the abrasion resistance of copoly, then you might want to give it a look. Quote
WPCfishing Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I used PLine CX today for the first time. It's a quality line and priced very reasonably. Made in Japan. I like it. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted May 16, 2015 Super User Posted May 16, 2015 Yo Zuri Hybrid is my favorite. It use to be Fluoroclear but it I went through several spools that had breaking issues. Not sure what the issues was but I have not tried it in years. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted May 16, 2015 Super User Posted May 16, 2015 I been using Excaliber Silver Thread copolymer line for decades. I have tried other brands but I'm back to the silver thread every time. Years ago Excalibur posted on there website the testing results of bending and abrasion testing against other popular lines at that time and Excalibur out lasted all the others. I been using it ever since I read the results. Quote
kadas Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I have been using the Izorline XXX and have been very happy with its manageability and sensitivity Quote
