Great Deal on Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft

[OK Bass Hunter]

Has anyone ordered from these guys before. Just wanted to know before I pulled the trigger on an order.

Get all of my Yozuri, and most other gear from Long Fin..great guys to deal with.. 8-)

How much is on a 1lb spool?

[Nibbles]

Depends on the line thickness. Higher pound tests typically have fewer yards.

YoZuri Hybrid Ultrasoft has about the same line diameter as Berkley Trilene Big Game. Here's a link to specs for how many yards of line are on a 1 lb spool of Big Game based on pound test:

Thanks for the heads up on the amazing deal. I won't be needing fishing line for a long while. 8-)

[Hamby]

That is a great deal. That would take me a very long time to get through all that line.

[BassThumb]

Thanks for the heads up!  I picked up a pound spool of #6 and #12 for $60 shipped.

[jrubow]

Thanks for the info, I was thinking hard about the #15 but with all the info from this site I ordered the #12 

[uicdent11]

Sweet deal here. Just put in an order for 6#, 10#, and 12#. I love this line for cranking, spinnerbaits, and topwater. Thanks for sharing this deal. 

[piscicidal]

Just put in an order myself....thanks for the post!

Same order I made. Great minds think alike!  ;D

[uicdent11]

Great minds??? I just got a 55% on a practice exam for my boards in less than two weeks.  Not sure you want to compare yourself to me. 

Did you really need the third, or was it the fact that the shipping was the same for 2 or 3?  ;D

6# Spinning

10# Crankbaits and Topwater

12# Square bills, Spinnerbaits, Buzzbaits, and Traps. All around use as well if I am not using Fluoro.

[Nibbles]

I use 6# for spinning, and 10# as an all purpose line for my baitcasters. I got some 12# just to try it out because I usually use 15# for pitching into cover but found it to be a little too thick for my liking. If everything works out well 12# will be replacing 15# in my arsenal for that purpose.

[uicdent11]

I've used 12# Hybrid for T Rigs and pitching plastics. It works just fine. Thinking about trying Braid/Fluoro or straight fluoro for soft plastics this year.

Heck, if I don't like it; I've got enough 12# Ultra Soft to go around.  ;D

[shootermcbob]

I ordered the #6 and #10 as well. Should be good to go for a couple years. I especially like the #6 on my spinning reels. I have found the #10 to be more than enough line for the lakes I fish.

Great deal. Thanks so much for passing it on Bass Hunter.

Anybody got that number, the site is blocked here at work. >

[FishinTN]

Thanks nibbles...

[BassThumb]

I just got the line today. What a tremendous deal at $25 a spool! The #6 has 8000 yards on the spool and the 12# has 4800.

I hope it has a good shelf life.   :

Do you guys use the ultra soft on spinning reels? I tried 8lb on my spinning reel and seemed to have a lot of memory. I went back to using Berkley XL.

[Goose52]

Mine came in today as well - 5800 yards of 10lb; something about that amount just gives me a feeling of ... security! ;D

Yo-Zuri is still fibbing about the diameter of their 10lb line though - they list both the regular Hybrid, and the Ultra-Soft at .012" but it actually "mikes" at .013" - about what other manufacturer's 12lb is often listed at.

[BassThumb]

Do you guys use the ultra soft on spinning reels? I tried 8lb on my spinning reel and seemed to have a lot of memory. I went back to using Berkley XL.

Applying KVD Line and Lure Conditioner and letting it dry overnight will help with that, especially with any co-poly or co-poly blends like Ultra Soft and P-Line CXX. I would recommend trying 6# Ultra Soft or CXX on a spinning reel if you're looking for an upgrade over XL or mono in general. The stuff is much stronger than the listed breaking strength, and the 6# handles like a dream. I haven't tried 8# Ultra Soft, but 8# CXX is a little stiff for me on a spinning reel, so I know where you're coming from

BTW, I like the Deadmau5 avatar.

I can't decide which color I like best. What do you guys use semi-clear and stained water?

[Nibbles]

I've always just used the green stuff. I have some non-ultrasoft Hybrid line in clear on some of my setups as well. Tbh I haven't really noticed a huge difference between the two as far as visibility in the water. Then again, I'm not really a believer of using "invisible" line in the water as to not spook the fish.

A follow up to this thread...

I received my spool of Yozuri 10lb test about a month ago. 5800yards for $24.99 (that's ~3.25 miles of line!). I have since respooled every single finesse/light T-rig/topwater/jerkbait/crankbait rod I have with it. And I have to say, so far, I'm pretty impressed! Line memory seems alot better than the 100% flouro I've been using. Sensitivity is good, and the line strength is excellent. I've been going out every morning, and have caught a bunch of fish on topwaters/pointers/flukes/senkos/t-rigs. So far/so good!

Each year, I try out a new line. For 2011, I am going completely Yozuri Hybrid Ultra Soft on all my mono/flouro rigs and Sufix 832 on all my braided rigs.

So far, I am really liking these two choices!

[Goose52]

I got my spool of 10lb about 3 weeks ago and fished it on the few days that we had open water between lake freezes. I had the same good impressions as piscicidal so I placed a second order for 6lb. So, I guess I'm set for baitcasting and spinning for 2011,........and 2012,.........and 2013...........
