shadyhaven Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 anyone tried this co-polymer? went to bps to find some yo-zuri hybrid but they were all out of 6-12# so i picked up some silver thread. way cheaper too(5.99per330yds). i plan on spooling my spinning tour pti30 for an all purpose line. just wondering if anyone likes, dislikes, cheers and jeers.

adclem Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 It is a really good line, but with that said the Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft is better for spinning reels. The line you got will work just fine, just be sure to treat it really well with KVD L&L. Later, Quote
Captain Obvious Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Alton Jones won the bassmaster Classic on it, I think that it works Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted March 21, 2009 Super User Posted March 21, 2009 Is the yo zuri soft line pretty manageable or does it have a lot of memory? Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted March 21, 2009 Super User Posted March 21, 2009 It's pretty good line....bought some at BPS last year for 2.99 and it is well worth that....pretty strong with good abrasion resistance. Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 21, 2009 Super User Posted March 21, 2009 Great crankin' line. Quote
adclem Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Is the yo zuri soft line pretty manageable or does it have a lot of memory? Very manageable line, very little if any memory. Later, Quote
Super User Dan: Posted March 21, 2009 Super User Posted March 21, 2009 I thought the Silver Thread "Excalibur" line was very similar to YZ ultra soft. Quote
LAO162 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 in #6, I thought the AN40 was really skinny and limp. On the other hand, #6 YZ-US was thicker, stiffer & stronger. For a bit more strength than #6 AN40, I prefer #6 P-Line Floroclear or 8# CX Premium. I think these two are very manageable and still stealthy. I'm probably going to stick with the #8 CX. Disclosure, my experience with them is limited to just a couple spools. Quote
bassinfla82 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I fished with Silver Thread YEARS AND YEARS ago and always loved it, the AN40 is a awesome line and handles really well! you cant beat it IMO and the price makes it just that much better.. Every reel I own is spooled with Powerpro or An40 on all bait casters... and 6LB an40 on my one and only spinning reel.. I will not use Fluorocarbon as I HATE IT and theres no need for it in 99% of the places i fish down here in FLA.. anyhow you will really like this line.. I never use any line treatment on this line and it casts and handles awesome on my TD-ITO ABS Quote
Redhed Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 i am really liking the Silverthread Excalibur in 12lb (10lb diameter) its limp and seems to be pretty good for cranks Quote
flipinstick88 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Yeah, its good line. I used to use it on all my rods until I switched to flourocarbon. Quote
BenoBreath Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Been using an40 for years. I like using the silver in off colored water, & the green in clear water. The price is right too. Quote
