Yo-Zuri Hybrid Or Ultra Soft For Spinning Rigs?

[Darren.]

The usual recommendation for using regular Hybrid on BC reels is based on the belief that it's stronger and more abrasion resistant than Ultrasoft, and that any line stiffness and/or memory are more easily addressed on BC reels than spinning reels.

 

Yo-Zuri has the average breaking strength of regular YZ Hybrid listed in a chart on their web site. However, there is no breaking strength listed on the Yo-Zuri web site for Ultrasoft (at least I've never found it).  Oversight or does YZ not want to go there?  My personal gut feeling is that Ultrasoft probably does have a lower abrasion resistance and breaking strength than regular Hybrid. But, Ultrasoft is still most likely stronger and has more abrasion tolerance than most nylon monos, and, at the price I got it at, it's been a tremendous value.  I never use any sort of line treatment like KVD or whatever on Ultrasoft, but as has been mentioned in this thread - many people do use line conditioner on regular Hybrid.

Have often wondered that myself about UltraSoft given the lack of mention by the makers.
