RW what # test FC do you use the most? Let me know and Ill send you a spool of Shooter to try out in that pound test if I have it or the closest I have to that test and you can give the guys your opinion on it! I have some spools laying around in lower pound test that I wont ever use so I dont mind given you one so you will fall in love with it lol.

PM sent.

Thanks,

Seaguar Tatsu: Too expensive for everyday fishing.

However, this is BY FAR the finest fishing line I

have ever used.

RW - can you elaborate on what pound test, what setup, and what type of fishing (moving baits/plastics/whatever) you think it is best suited for?

The line is #15 (.013" diameter); spooled on a CH50MG/ Dobyns

683C. For the most part, I have been fishing a Sworming Hornet/

LFT Live Magic Shad on this set-up. However, 3/8 oz jigs, dropshot,

shakey head or any soft plastic would be fine.

The line has virtually no memory so far. Strong, sensitive and tough

are other attributes. I don't notice much stretch and knots are not an issue.

I think you might notice that the Tatsu seems exceptionally smooth.

This might be the result of highly calibrated, uniform extrusion.

I use PP on four rigs for fishing in heavy weeds. No problems until starts to change color and fray, I can break #50 on a hard hookset.

As per your recommend, I have been using Yozuri ultra soft #12 in clear open lakes for Jigs, wormin, senkos, etc.

For drop shot I use Invis-X #8. I have been planning to down size to #6 Yozuri, but a couple of local guys suggest Invis-X #6 instead. Which one would you use for DS?

Funny how one guy loves a specific line while someone else does not.  I guess to each his own.  I love braid and hate Fluorocarbon, just had bad experience with it.  Either way, if you like something and it works for you why change?

Yo-Zuri #6 is stronger if you think that's important.

Otherwise, either line will be fine.

The 6lb youzuri ultrasoft will have Much better abrasion resistance, and will be much stronger than the Invisx..I speak from experience on these 2 lines. In fact, I stopped using fluro, and went back to my trusted Yozuri.

Example..I fish some saltwater in a float tube..I hooked into what I think was a barndoor Hali, fought it for 40 mins. until it broke off, that was with 8lb yozuri ultrasoft.

I use either P-line Floroclear or Yozuri Ultra Soft lines for most situations.  I've been using the Yozuri on my spinning outfits for a few years now and earlier this year pulled a 22# channel catfish out of the Antelope Valley portion of the CA Aqueduct on the Yozuri Ultra soft 8# line.

I'd have the Yozuri on all my reels but it's harder to find localy.

Yep...After this year's testing...Yo-Zuri is the winner.
