Yo-Zuri Hybrid Or Ultra Soft For Spinning Rigs?

The usual recommendation for using regular Hybrid on BC reels is based on the belief that it's stronger and more abrasion resistant than Ultrasoft, and that any line stiffness and/or memory are more easily addressed on BC reels than spinning reels.

 

Yo-Zuri has the average breaking strength of regular YZ Hybrid listed in a chart on their web site. However, there is no breaking strength listed on the Yo-Zuri web site for Ultrasoft (at least I've never found it).  Oversight or does YZ not want to go there?  My personal gut feeling is that Ultrasoft probably does have a lower abrasion resistance and breaking strength than regular Hybrid. But, Ultrasoft is still most likely stronger and has more abrasion tolerance than most nylon monos, and, at the price I got it at, it's been a tremendous value.  I never use any sort of line treatment like KVD or whatever on Ultrasoft, but as has been mentioned in this thread - many people do use line conditioner on regular Hybrid.

Have often wondered that myself about UltraSoft given the lack of mention by the makers.
