Muad Dib Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Why is it that when im fishing with my yozuri hybrid ultra soft i can see it out of the water and ican also see it in the water? isnt this supposed to be a flouro hybrid. if i can see it well cant the fish? its harder for me to see regular mono becuase it is not the milky white. what do you think fellas thanks trav Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 2, 2009 Super User Posted April 2, 2009 In smaller diameters (#6) I think the green or white are fine. However, if you fish gin clear water, original Hybrid is the ticket. The green matches up almost perfectly with clear water, smoke for stained water. If you are fishing #12 on a baitcaster, the green Ultra Soft is what I recommend, but there is still a visibility issue. This is because the Ultra Soft formula has a higher percentage of nylon vs fluorocarbon. #12 original Hybrid is manageable on a baitcaster, especially when treated with KVD Line & Lure Conditioner. Green for clear water, smoke for stained. 8-) Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted April 2, 2009 Super User Posted April 2, 2009 because all lines are visible in water including flouro!!!flouro is just less visible than others. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 If you're looking for a stealthy line, Ultrasoft is not the best. It is incredibly strong but quite visible. If you're concerned with visibility you could always use a flourocarbon leader. However, I don't think line visibility is as much of an issue as people think it is. Quote
Super User Raul Posted April 2, 2009 Super User Posted April 2, 2009 The only way for a line to be "invisible" under water would be if it had the same light refraction index of water, such thing is hardly possible, even the most less visible lines are visible. The catch is, ok your line has low visbility, but it 's not against water what you should measure the visbility, it 's how well it blends with the surrounding, that 's when the line "dissapears" from the sight of the fish. Line visibility is seldomly an issue for most fishing situations, the only time when line visbility is an issue is in open crystal clear water which is rare, there 's always some kind of background against what the line can blend, of course that for high visibility environments in my experience choose the less visible line in the lowest line diameter you can get away with depending upon cover type and density and/ or bottom composition.

Muad Dib Posted April 3, 2009 Author Posted April 3, 2009 so i think im gonna strip off my "clear/white" yozuri and go get the green . i think thatll work better for me (who knows what the fish thing) haha thanks trav Quote
