I used the yozuri hybrid ultra soft #8 today and it performed well. My only complaint was that when split shotting the line between the hook and weight begins to get memory in it after catching a fish or two and gave me some tangling issues.

What gear were you using spinning or bc, either way use some KVD conditioner, problem solved.

On RW's recommendation I have switched to Yo-Zuri Hybrid, I use 8lb test on an EXT 05 series bait caster ML KVD rod, the refractivity of the Hybrid makes it harder for the fish to see.  I have considered switching to 6lb, the diameter of 8 is .11 and 6 .10, when I purchased the line I could only find 8 so that I what I bought.  This winter Bass Pro will have all kinds of great sales, I picked up my EXT for 40 bucks, and the rod was 59, pretty good deal in my book.  I have completely switched to BC's for 99% of my fishing, I found that a ML BC set up is the equivalent of a M Spinning set up.  Good luck.  PS keep an eye on the flea market there are always good deals there.

I'm using a spinning setup.  I will have to find some of that line conditioner and give it a try.  Does it keep the memory out or just fix the problem until you catch another fish or two?

Removes memory, improves casting, helps eliminate birdsnests, I use it some, hardly ever on my 8 and 12 lbs that are on casting reels.  Some on the one with 15lb, it isn't something that needs done continually, occassionally.
