Aside from braid, YZ Hybrid is the only line I use anymore. When I consider stretch, strength, cost, durability, manageability, knot strength, etc, nothing else comes close. I still use braid for frogs and jigs, but little else. I use improved clinch with YZ almost exclusively (occasional Rapala knot or palomar.)

My ONLY issue with Yo Zuri is that it will become badly compromised when 'creased' or kinked hard. If folded hard in a backlash or a spinning loop cluster, it must be replaced. Once doubled over and creased, it becomes very fragile (as do most monos and fluoros)

^^^^° this is exactly my comment. Same set ups, same feelings, same results.

I use YZ hybrid and ultra soft for everything I do in fresh and salt water EXCEPT punching mats and my frog rod. That is the only time I feel braid trully excels.

Buy with confidence. 12# will do most anything. I like 15# myself.

The only 2 lines I use are YZ and PP. For frog fishing I do not recommend YZ however. Frog fishing IMHO, requires powerful hook sets. Although Yz is great line it stretches too much to secure a strong solid hookset, which braid will easily provide.
