Get some KVD Line & Lure Conditioner and you will like the line even more!

I tried the regular Yo-Zuri (12#) on a baitcaster and didn't care for it. I did not try KVD though but I don't care for that hassle.

I use the remainder of this line as a leader on any setups that I have braid on.

The Ultrasoft is a completely different matter though, I love it. I use it on spinning reels exclusively and love it. I never use any line conditioner and it works fine. I also introduced a friend of mine to it and he loves if as well.

Maybe the best line that you can buy in my opinion and with the price it is definately #1.

Note: This same friend was fishing in a boat with another buddy of his one day and the other guy was getting about 5 to his 1. My buddy was using the same lure etc but was using braid. He added a floro or mono leader and immediately started to match the catch rate of the other guy.Hence my leader on braid.

I hate fluorocarbon, and like mono except for the water absorption. I'm not gonna use braid because in my lake I don't have to, and I'm not gonna spend a lot on line if I don't have to. How does this stuff compare to say Trilene XL when it comes to manageability and soaking up water? Thanks.

I think you will find the line user friendly, especially if you treat it with

KVD Line & Lure Conditioner when spooling.

Thanks. I will have to give this a shot then.
