alanmikkelsen Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Hi, new here, from the great state of Montana. We have awesome smallmouth fishing, both here and in Idaho. Now for my question: I'm using a 6'6" Shimano Compre, med. action, 1/8-1/2 oz lure wt, Shimano Calcutta 51. (I have two of these). Also have two Shimano 7' med. action Compre, 1/8-1/2oz, Quantum Catalyst Spinning reels. I prefer the baitcasters, unless the wind is howling or I'm throwing unweighted Senkos. Fishing smallmouth with jig/grub, 1/8-1/4 oz jig head, small cranks, tubes 1/8-3/8 oz. Once in a while some 3-4" senkos. All river fishing, from a boat. I'm thinking about trying some Yozuri line, either Hybrid or Hybrid UltraSoft, in either 8# or 10#--maybe 6# for the spinning set up. Which combination would you recommend? Thanks. Quote
NEBassMan Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Welcome!! and awesome fish! 8-) I would recommend the Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft in 6lb for your spinning set up and 12lb for your baitcasters. Jason Quote

Hawgin Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 I agree with the majority, however for your baitcaster I would recommend you also consider Seaguar flourocarbon as well. Quote
RiskKid. Posted March 9, 2007 Posted March 9, 2007 Welcome aboard.....nice fish and beautiful countryside Roadwarrior is "THE MAN" when it comes to Yozuri lines. I have followed his advice and am happy I did. I don't think you will be dissapointed. Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted March 10, 2007 Super User Posted March 10, 2007 I took there advice and went to Gander last week and bought the Ultra Soft in the 6lb and 12 lb. for my bait casters. I cant' wait to try it. ;D Quote
bassin_man Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Has anyone tried putting 12# Ultra Soft on a reel rated for 10# max? How did it work out? Quote
