Hybrid Fluoro/Mono lines

[Highlander]

Never heard of a hybrid mix & to be quite honest I would probably stay clear of it. Likewise Fluo & Double Strength
latter are useless for fishing despite the manufacturers claims. Like Sandy I have tried many lines over the years & whilst most of them were fine & still today stick to Maxima Chameleon for highland lochs Salmon & Sea Trout & Drennan Sub Surface for rivers.
I still hanker back for Luxor Kroic & Racine Tortue which were probably the first decent nylons on the market in the 60s likewise Platil & Stylcast which were good too.

Tight Lines

My order of Yo-Zuri arrived amazingly quickly from Garry Evans.
First impressions, it is a fair bit stiffer than my usual tippet - not a problem for me as I actually prefer a stiffer tippet for use on windy days. But the Yo Zuri is much thicker. I hesitate to mention a fluoro  :shock: as so many on this forum hate them, but Seaguar 6.6lb is 0.185mm and the Yo-Zuri 6lb is 0.254mm. Holding them together the difference is very noticeable. Some might argue that the diameter difference when fishing does not matter; my experience on very clear hill lochs suggests otherwise. But there is a massive massive price difference in favour of the Yo-Zuri.
Look forward to trying it on the water

The Stroft nylon mono is a big seller in many many countries. Yo-zuri is very thick. At 0.22mm Stroft is 11.2lbs, at 0.2mm it is 9.2lbs and the 6.6lbs is down at 0.16mm. I have been using mostly the 0.2 but also the 0.18 which is 7.9lbs and the spool price is about £6.50 for 100m.

I suppose since I only use Yozurri for salmon, I never paid any attention to the diameter. Salmon are wary, but not line shy. I will not use less than 12lb bs on salmon. It seems much the same diameter as 12lb bs Maxima, or so close as to be the same.
