fishbear Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 RW, I finally got my Yo Zuri ultra soft and used it this weekend for the tourny I fished..... I love this line... Thanks for the advice Enough said. Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 25, 2007 Super User Posted February 25, 2007 If the snowstorm doesn't keep me away, I am going to Cabella's tomorrow to review the Fork trip game plan with the Mooks. I plan to pick up some of the magic 'ultra soft' while there. Ronnie Quote
RiskKid. Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 You won't be sorry. I followed RW's advice mid season last summer and feel the same as fishbear. Like RW I use 6# on spinning and 12# on baitcast except one rig which has 50# braid. Quote
Bud Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 RW has been telling everyone about Yo Zuri ultra soft every since I have been on this forum. He know his stuff. Quote
Pond Hopper Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I picked some up too from his advice for my spinning reel and my girlfriends and seems to be a good choice from playing with it in the house. Although I dont plan on putting it on my baitcasters because I like braided line too much for that. Quote

Super User FishTank Posted February 26, 2007 Super User Posted February 26, 2007 I too have put 6lb Ultra Soft on a spinning reel of mine. I plan to put it head to head with my favorite 6lb P-Line Floroclear to see which one I like better. So far I have tested both for breaking strength and the Ultra Soft broke at about 11lbs and P-Line at about 10lbs. The P-Line has a smaller diameter compared to the YoZuri. It is almost the same as 8lb Floroclear. All of this could me nothing until I start catching fish but so far the YoZuri looks like a great product. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 26, 2007 Super User Posted February 26, 2007 Do you think I could get away with 8lb. or 10lb. on a spinning reel? I just don't feel safe with 6lb.! :-/ :-/ Quote
Rose_Jackets67 Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Eye - I fish the original Hybrid (non-ultrasoft) 6lb on all my spinning rigs. I believe the actual breaking strength is closer to 10 lbs. It's super strong - my 3 biggest bass (6,7, and 8.8lbs) have all come in the last 18 months, and have all come on 6lb Hybrid. I have never had a fish break off on the Yo Zuri line either. adam Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 26, 2007 Super User Posted February 26, 2007 I fish #6 on spinning tackle and #12 on baitcasting gear. I have never been broken off by a fish using this line. Can you use #8 or #10 on spinning tackle? Maybe. You will probably like it just fine, but leave a little extra margin when filling your spool. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 26, 2007 Super User Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks RW and everyone for the info. I will be going to BPS this Sat. and I will pick up some #6. Let me ask you this= what do you use this 6lb. for worms ect.? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 26, 2007 Super User Posted February 26, 2007 I fish all soft plastics and light jigs on a 7' MF spinning rod and #6 Ultra Soft. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 26, 2007 Super User Posted February 26, 2007 Thanks again RW you sold me! Quote
Live.2.Fish Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Just picked up some 12# Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft two days ago. I thought I would go and see for myself what everyone else is talking about. Now if the ice on the lakes would disappear, I'd be set. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Absolutely, last time we talked, he convinced me to try the Remy Martin XO, great call, love it. Smooth off the lip and zero memory. Thanks Buddy!! For ALL you do!! Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted February 26, 2007 Super User Posted February 26, 2007 The only thing better than Remy XO is to have an Avo XO to go with it. Cheers, GK Quote
Super User 5bass Posted February 27, 2007 Super User Posted February 27, 2007 Absolutely, last time we talked, he convinced me to try the Remy Martin XO, great call, love it. Smooth off the lip and zero memory. Remy.....thats good stuff! Quote
Super User Alpster Posted February 27, 2007 Super User Posted February 27, 2007 ... Smooth off the lip and zero memory. Yea, but you have to use it awhile before the memory goes away. Ronnie Quote
Super User burleytog Posted February 27, 2007 Super User Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks RW and everyone for the info. I will be going to BPS this Sat. and I will pick up some #6. Let me ask you this= what do you use this 6lb. for worms ect.? BPS doesn't sell the Ultra Soft. I've only seen Hybrid in one (of three I've looked) BPS store. Quote
fishbear Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 I ordered my 600 yd spools from Cabelas for about 8 bucks a spool... Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 27, 2007 Super User Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks guys, Then I will have to make a trip to Cabelas too.Maybe Gander Mouintain has it? : : Quote
deadeye32. Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 yeah, I bought some ultra soft from gander for $4.99 in #6,8,and 10, havent got to fish with it yet here in indy, but it was still a great deal. Quote
