Although I often mention it, I think it’s worth mentioning again: I’m not too far from becoming a bankrupt university angler, and I’m looking for any quality fishing tackle I can find at a reasonable price. Throughout the process of paying my well-known dues, I developed a strong interest in cool gear without having to empty my checking account. Therefore, when I encounter something that meets this standard, I will make sure to test it, and if the result proves to be of good quality, of course I will let all of our readers know. Whether you are a millionaire or just barely making ends meet-in my opinion, everyone appreciates and deserves a good deal.

Having said that, I have become a big fan of Yo-Zuri Hybrid Fishing Line. I don't know what it took me so long to try it, but I'm glad I did. Each 275-yard spool starts at $7.99, and I think this is definitely a line you should consider trying.

Let's take a few minutes to discuss it.

Yo-Zuri Hybrid Fishing Line is actually the only fishing line that molecularly combines nylon and fluorocarbon during the extrusion process. This results in a very cool mix of sensitivity, abrasion resistance and a little stretch.

The main problem I hear about fluorocarbon is that it is too hard, and as the wire diameter increases, it becomes more difficult to manage on casting and spinning reels. For many fluorocarbons, I believe this is a valid point of view. The biggest problem many people have with monofilament is that it is too elastic, which of course will affect the sensitivity and fixed hook strength. Likewise, in many cases, I can understand complaints.

However, this Yo-Zuri Hybrid is a perfect combination of the best characteristics of monofilament and fluorocarbon. You can fish in cold weather without becoming too hard or too brittle, the smaller pound test performs well on spinning reels when used as the main line, and you can also lean around thick coverings Without worrying about breaking.

If you have read anything about me, you will know that I like a well-deserved crank bait. If you don't have a few crank baits on my front deck, you will never, never see me on the water. Maybe I am weird, but I definitely love them.

At startup, fluorocarbons are a strange beast. I mainly throw a plug in the range of 4 to 6 feet. If it is a small crank bait, I will use 12 pounds of fluorocarbon; if I want to throw a large square mouth plug, I will use 15 to 17 pounds Fluorocarbon. Therefore, although I do prefer to use fluorocarbons for startup in most cases, I also understand that every brand and model is different. Some are stiff, some are tight, and some even break within a few feet of the rock.

I have been using Yo-Zuri Hybrid at startup and it is excellent. It has the durability of fluorocarbons and sufficient sensitivity to detect subtle bites from sleepy bass, but it is also flexible enough to make my hook hesitate. Rather than the harder fluorine making me immediately feel the bite and risk pulling the bait and hook away from the bass, I was able to delay my hook by a few milliseconds to ensure that the bass gets as much as possible in its mouth. Treble.

Therefore, if you are throwing a crank and getting a series of short hits, or have problems setting the hook too early, I strongly recommend trying a spool of the diameter I mentioned. I bet that because this line adds a bit of flexibility to the equation, many short hits will turn into fish.

I have little patience with rough, memory fishing lines. This is just the kind of fishing tackle I hate the most. This is why when I buy a line, I usually splurge a bit and get the best I can afford. If I avoid frustration and strong opposition when I try to fish, I believe it will be worth it.

The good news is that this Yo-Zuri Hybrid provides you with very good manageability without breaking the bank. As the temperature drops, I have been mainly testing 12 pounds, and for a 275-yard spool, it only costs $7.99. In my opinion, this is a crazy deal.

However, usually when I see a fishing line with a similar price point, I hesitate to buy it-I think many anglers may be like this. But man, this kind of thing performs well on both spinning and casting reels. Once I reach the 15-pound test, I will spray a little line conditioner on the reel once a week, because it can only produce a little memory, but if you think about it, what line is not in the 15-pound mark? But the smaller diameter is very similar to higher-end and more expensive fishing lines, without any special treatment.

As I mentioned before, I don't know what made me take so long to try this line, I was a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it sooner. I am not afraid to use these things in high-stakes tournaments or fisheries full of giant bass. I have developed a lot of confidence in it and I am very happy to continue using it because I have been working hard throughout the winter and months of due date.
