I just wanna know how he did that.

Mix of moving baits and topwaters with some bottom contact thrown in? 6# Yo-Zuri Hybrid - don't be fooled by the number - IFGA tested it at 11.9# average breaking strength....

In my experience, YZH has great knot strength...only time I've 'broken off' was when a pike bit through it...otherwise nothing.

Well, I can respect that. Maybe come up with a truly new color combo... Tie-dyed Spinner anyone?

Allen...bite your tongue My profile-pic bass was caught on white/chartreuse spinnerbait...

Not great, but not terrible either. 13 22 34 30 81

Ya, you betcha.... Especially considering I live on an island - truth...cut two bridges and I'd need to use the boat to get groceries when there's open water.

Glad we could help, man.

BPS, DSG, Academy, Scheels...for some reason, TW doesn't carry the 4#. Also note that they don't do the 600yd spools in 4# - only the 275yd. .009" - same as 6# Trilene XL I would also highly suggest getting some KVD - YZH is a little stiffer than mono of the same diameter...probably has to do with the embedded FC. Ya...embedded, not an FC coat over mono.

Well, I got 4 above 1st cut line Aoki's gotta up his game, man

Why would you want to...a frog is pretty much weedless, a necessary thing when running it over the slop...and good soft-bodied one doesn't interfere with hook-set.

My personal observation is that with the mix of mono (floating) and FC (sinking), YZH is pretty close to neutrally buoyant - so it's effect on many lures is negligible.

Which is why my Aird-X MH/F is my moving baits rod...as I've mentioned before, it's sensitive enough that I can feel the blades vibrate during retrieve.

Still is for a fair number of us.

I'm not familiar with the Defy rods...I'm kind of in a rut far as that goes...Diawa, Dobyns and Okuma are my brands.

The line I quoted from you says 'Tatula at Midway'...

Across the board, YZH tests higher than what they put on the label - and that's according to the IGFA

The Tatula XT is definitely better than the Aird-X...at that price it's 'a steal'.

Still....he seems to be waffling....positive reinforcement here.

Go with the Diawa....

Thumbs up for YZH. I use 12# on my crankbait rig, 8# on my M/F casting rig and 4# on my ML/MF spinning rig.

I refuse to put stickers on my desk. Course it is near an antique - was my dad's when he was a kid, built by HIS dad. Solid walnut, sucker is close to 80 years old...have a matching dresser that granddad built at the same time. I do need to re-varnish it at some point...but it's still solid.

No - but the Cx-80 models are pretty much the same. Only major difference is the frame material CC - Carbon Fiber CR - Resin CA - Aluminum You can check out a CR or CC and know that the CA is basically the same reel.

Oh ya - long as you have enough wire after the fuse to make a connection, you can cut it as short as you want.

Unless unless you specifically turn it off in the options - one of the standard things displayed is voltage.
