The_Natural Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Bass Pro has 1000yd spools of Yozuri Hybrid for $6.88 in clear and green. I picked up several spools; that is a great price. This is not the Ultra Soft, but regular hybrid. Quote
Chode2235 Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Whats the main difference between the regular and the ultra soft Hybrid? What do you guys prefer. Thats a great price regardless. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 12, 2007 Super User Posted March 12, 2007 The Hybrid has more flourocarbon than the Ultra Soft. Hence it will be a bit stiffer. Is that price in-store only or internet too? I would check but I've been having a hard time getting the BPS site to come up all weekend. Quote
The_Natural Posted March 12, 2007 Author Posted March 12, 2007 I imagine it is only online. Our local BPS doesn't even stock Yozuri. As said, the regular Yozuri is stiffer, has less stretch, and is more crystal clear versus the Ultra Soft. I'm not a fan of Ultra Soft due to the color; it may seem petty, but we all have our quirks . It just looks white to me, while the regular Yozuri and Pline CXX look crystal clear. The fish may not even care, but I lose confidence when I don't think it's perfect. Then again, Pline CXX and regular Yozuri probably aren't for everyone; they are no-nonsense lines that do have some memory, but I have methods to minimize it. Quote
silvercliff_46 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I just bought several 600 yard reels at the Walmart store for $4.00 per 600 yard reel. I only put it on my ice fishing reels, but I sure don't like it for that. It springs right off the reels. I am hoping it works better in the summer time. It is the regular stuff and it looks sort of brownish. Quote

Super User burleytog Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 Sigh...as if I need any more line. 2000 yards of 12 lb. heading my way. Thanks for nothing Natural... Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 13, 2007 Super User Posted March 13, 2007 Although I STRONGLY recommend Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft for spinning tackle, I have fished original Hybrid up to #8. When spooling you should leave a margin of 1/8" from the top. Although I am currently using Ultra Soft #12 on my baitcasters, I think original Hybrid works just fine on that gear. As a matter-of-fact, thanks to The_Natural, I ordered up some original from BPS yesterday. Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted March 14, 2007 Posted March 14, 2007 Picked up some of this too. Grreat deal indeed. I actually bought it before i read the post go figure. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 14, 2007 Super User Posted March 14, 2007 I have used Yo-Zuri 10# on spinning tackle in the past with no problem, as long I get the line on the reel tight. The problem is that no store around me, including BPS, and Wal-mart, carry it anymore. I am waiting for the Cabela's to open up sometime in April. Quote
