Hammer 4 reply :

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

Dockhead reply :

How much is on a 1lb spool?

Nibbles reply :

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 reply :

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

BassThumb reply :

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

jrubow reply :

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

uicdent11 reply :

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 reply :

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

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

uicdent11 reply :

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 reply :

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 reply :

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 reply :

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.

FishinTN reply :

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

Nibbles reply :

# for phone ordering: 714-538-8738

FishinTN reply :

Thanks nibbles...

BassThumb reply :

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. :

Scorcher214 reply :

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 reply :

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.

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.

soccplayer07 reply :

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

Nibbles reply :

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.

piscicidal reply :

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 reply :

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...........

I'm still not sure that I'm convinced that there's that much difference in catch rates and line colors.

I bought the mist-green Yo-Zuri as part of color coding: my nylon mono is clear, all my Yo-Zuri is green ...

islandbass reply :

I am seriously thinking about taking the plunge. How is the abrasion resistance of US compared to its Non US counterpart? I have used regular Yozuri at 12# test and really liked it. I might go with 6# for my finesse fishing, but it better hold a candle to my invizx.

I don't have enough experience with the Ultra-Soft yet to comment on abrasion resistance - just fished it a bit in-between freezes. I fished some regular 10lb Yo-Zuri on my deep cranking rod all last season and liked it. I bought the US based on recommendations of the folks on this board.

I hope this line is good because I now have nearly 8 MILES of it. ;D BUT, at only $25 a spool, it's a cheap experiment and I know it will be at least as good, and probably much better, than the BPS Excel mono that is my standard line.

procraft210 reply :

i just ordered a spool of #6, #8, and #15. they are out of the 10 and 12 or I would have got those to.

Bass_Fanatic reply :

I ordered the 6lb and 15lb. Wanted some 12lb, but they were out. It came in in a week and I have now spooled the 6lb on my spinning reel and the 15lb on my spinnerbait setup, topwater setup, and trap setup. i am liking it so far. I have enough US in 6lb to respool my one spinning reel everyday.

bassin is addicting reply :

what do you think the shelf life is ?? :-/

this will last me at least 3 seasons... ++

i just bought 1,000 yds of McCoy from TW last month. but this too good of a deal to pass up..
