Yozuri hybrid after 3 trips

[Dutch]

All of my 6# Seaguar Red label fluorocarbon had gone bad.  The Yozuri hybrid arrived and I put it on 2 setups for a test run.  I fished it where I had lost 15 Neds last week.  I never had a single break off.  I put it on 3 more setups and tried it on Stockton, not a single break off.  One more trip back to Table Rock yesterday did finally get me my first break off.  In the mix of things I did have two times that Gamakatsu 1/0 hooks broke at the bend but not the line.

 I think that this 6# Yozuri is a keeper if it’s strength lasts.

How did the red label go bad?  Old?  Sun exposure?

No idea.  It was the same age and kept in the same place as I keep all of my line in my bait locker in the garage.  I have 8, 10, 12, 15 and 20 in there.  They all are good.  I buy once a year when BPS does the 1/2 off sale.  I hope the Yozuri hybrid holds up as this summer for me it’s been Ned or nothing.

Also,  check out the diameter  of the 6 pound Yozuri and compare it to the red label

I have.  It is a bit thicker.  I can feel the difference.  The fish don’t seem to care.  It is also a little more unruly but a shot of Real Magic took care of that and increased the casting distance.

I loaded up when you tipped me off the sale.  Thx!!    No problem so far.

I have been touting Yozuri hybrid for years.
