Texasangler14 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 i know there are a lot of threads about this line but i have a specific question about the diameter. I know its fairly thick per lb test, but i usually use 20lb fluoro down here in florida and I am interested in trying this line as i am running low on Trilene 100%, my question is if you guys find the 15lb unmanageble with line conditioner. I know a lot of people like the 12lb and is quite manageable it sounds like but im worried about being outmatched here in florida with some of these fish Quote
Kevin22 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I have the 15 on a squarebill rod, it is not unmanageable at all. It is about the same as 100% or XT in terms of stiffness and memory. 15 yo-zuri would match up very well to your 20# 100%. 1 Quote
John G Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I have casted the 15# with a 3/8oz jig and worked fine. I like the green but unfortunately they are only showing clear on their website. Quote
Mr Swim Jig Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I have used this line before in 15# and never had problems with it. But I always treated it with KVD L&L really well when spooling it up and before going on a fishing trip. Quote
kikstand454 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I live in Florida. I throw 15# YZ hybrid for almost everything. I've done this for quite a few years now. I rarely use conditioner. Quote
Chrisran99 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 After reading the review here I spooled up 15# Yozuri before my last tournament and it preformed really well, but I did treat it the night before with L&L. I have P-line floroclear 15# on another rod and it cast a little smoother but the Yozuri seemed a lot stronger and less stretch. I'm headed to Pickwick in a few weeks and think I'm going to try 12 # hybrid in the clearer water. The Yozuri does feel thicker the the P-line in the same weight but I'm not sure about the actual size. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted June 1, 2015 Super User Posted June 1, 2015 I just got a package in from the bay. 12#, 3 lb spool (14,400 yds) for $44.00 shipped. I'm good for a long time and I have come to love this line. I have no experience with 15# YZ so I can't comment there but the 12# is awesome line. Super strong and a knot strength is incredible. 1 Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted June 1, 2015 Super User Posted June 1, 2015 Well yes. Technically it's a little thicker for it's advertised diameter but it also breaks at ~40% above that number too. If you're truly worried about it, definitely feel free to size down accordingly. It will sill work. 1 Quote
