Sherlock 60 Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Would Yo-Zuri Hybrid be a good leader for braid? Lots cheaper than regular flourocarbon. Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 9, 2019 Super User Posted March 9, 2019 Far and away my most used leader line. I use 6, 8 10, 12 and 15 1 Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 Would 10# Yo-Zuri be a good match for 15 or 20# Power Pro? Or should I go to 12#? Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted March 9, 2019 Super User Posted March 9, 2019 I only use 12 and 15 with 50-60# braid. 10 is pretty good all-around....but if you aren't in a lot of heavy cover, sharp rock, or zebras, you would almost certainly be fine with 8. Quote
KP Duty Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Took a guided trip out to sea in California a few years ago. My guide put us on fish, and then just sat back and tied leaders all day using a bulk spool of yozuri hybrid (15 or 20lb). I bet if we were on a freshwater lake he would have used the same (brand, not lb test) Quote
Super User MassYak85 Posted March 10, 2019 Super User Posted March 10, 2019 It's not my favorite line but I have used the 12lb and 6lb as leader line. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted March 10, 2019 Super User Posted March 10, 2019 Yes yes yes. Great for leader material. I use mainly 6, 8, 10, but have gone up to 15 and down to 4. They all work very well. I did have one mishap, probably 6 years ago with a fresh 10# leader, no nicks or anything. It snapped on a bass I never got to see. Was a very strong fight, likely a big 'un . Lost confidence in the line for quite a few years, but since regained. Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted March 10, 2019 Super User Posted March 10, 2019 I use 12 lb YZH leader for jigs, Spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits... 8 lb leaders for skipping wacky worms, Flukes, etc around dock posts. So much stronger, abrasion resistant than fluorocarbon. Quote
CrankFate Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Try the HD Carbon. It holds knots better than any other fluoro on the market. And it’s tough in rocks. Quote
Revival Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Only line I use for my leaders. I use 6lb, 8lb, 10lb and 12lb and love it. Funny story...last year when I started fishing again, I went to our Bass Pro and asked one of the workers if they had any of the Yozuri Hybrid. He laughed and with attitude said “we stopped selling that stuff a long time ago!” Just a few weeks ago, I seen they had it on the shelves again and plus it was on sale. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted March 10, 2019 Author Posted March 10, 2019 I was at Cabela's yesterday and couldn't find any. Ordered some on Amazon and it will be here Monday. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted March 11, 2019 Super User Posted March 11, 2019 I had about 25 yards left over of a spool of 15lb and it worked just fine for leader. It did not last long as dedicated FC but it worked. Quote
