lsufan334 Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 Hey guys I just ordered some 10,15,20lb spools of hybrid. I know what im going to use the 10 and 20 for but do you guys think the 15 will be good for everyday spinnerbait fishing and maybe square-bill cranks around cover??? Im now familiar with this line at all just thought i would give it a shot with all the great reviews. Thanks. Quote
s13john Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 its tough stuff. breaks at about 22lbs if i remember. defiantly would be good for spinnerbaits and such. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted December 26, 2010 Super User Posted December 26, 2010 15 & 17 # is my choice for spinnerbaits, however I prefer about 12 for shallow cranks around cover. Just me though. Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted December 26, 2010 Super User Posted December 26, 2010 While it is not my favorite, I have used 15# YZ for a variety of of baits on my heavier power rods. It is STRONG stuff. It will work fine for those baits. Good luck, and come on spring. 8-) Quote
Nibbles Posted December 26, 2010 Posted December 26, 2010 I use 15# for pitching directly into cover. I typically use 10# for spinnerbaits, finesse jigs and T-Rigs. Occasionally I will bump it up to 12# if I'm fishing areas with lots of underwater brush. I've yet to lose a fish due to line failure. Quote
Super User Sam Posted December 26, 2010 Super User Posted December 26, 2010 Your test sizes are proper. Although if you are fishing for Aggie bass then you can use 3 pound test as we know Aggies are wossies. ;D ;D Geaux Tigers!!!!! Quote

That is very true. But the stuff i will be throwing the square-bill is some nasty stuff on the Alabama River and Coosa River this spring. But I will problably get the 12# for that though. Thanks for the input guys. Quote
Super User Micro Posted December 26, 2010 Super User Posted December 26, 2010 Given that Hybrib breaks higher than its stated test, you can move down a bit in test and get the same strength as mono. I used 8# for small cranks and small topwater. 10# for cranks and larger topwater 12# for plastics and spinnerbaits 15# for flipping I only broken off on Hybrid one time, trying to lift a really big blue catfish over the side by the line. Otherwise, I've never had any breakoffs. Quote
repper Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 There's a local tackle shop that's selling 600 yds of this line for $5.95. I've never tried it, but it seems to get good reviews here, so I think I'll give it a try. Quote
Green Hornet Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I think you're on the right track. 15# is great for spinnerbaits. Should also be great for fishing the squarebills in 3 - 5 feet of water. Quote
