Best overall Line

Featured Replies

I am trying a new line and am open for ideas ive been using mono tied to superline.  I want another line that isnt a type of braid.  What do you think is best flouro,mono,copolymer etc... and what brands.  I will be putting it on a baitcaster.

I recommend Yo-Zuri Hybrid Ultra Soft #12 (.013" diameter, 19.5 lb test). This is a bonded (not coated) fluorocarbon/ nylon copolymer. The line is highly abrasion resistant and in use, has virtually no memory. Ultra Soft is impervious to water and UV light, never gets old, and it floats!

isnt ultra soft more for spinning gear.

PLine CXX

Trilene XT or XL

Trilene 100% Flouro

And break strength isn't the same as pound test.  ::(

Ultra Soft was designed with spinning tackle in mind because

of the issues surrounding memory. I don't like memory when

using baitcasting equipment either.

For spinning gear, I recommend Ultra Soft #6 (.010" diameter, 11.9 lb test).

its funny because the two im leaning toward the most are pline and yo zuri and thats all thats been recommended.  Still dont know which to get might have to get both.  Am going to be putting it on my new Revo STX

I fished P-Line CXX before moving to Yo-Zuri.

It's strong and tough, but has a lot of memory,

especially in cold weather. Their Floroclear is a

fluorocarbon coated line. It broke ocassionally

while casting which I found unacceptable and

lost confidence in the line.

thanks rw i have tried pline and i didnt have any problems i think im gonna go with yo zuri to see what all the hype is about haha

Is there THAT much of a difference between Yo-Zuri regular and ultra soft? The only place around here that sells Yo-Zuri is Sports Authority, and they don't have ultra soft. I plan on using it for a baitcaster.
