As you all know, there are always something new and improved in the fishing world. The secret lure that will catch all the fish in the lake, a color that will attract all the fish...
I was at a sportsmans show last month and ran across a couple things that won't catch all the fish in the lake but, I did see some of the new fishing lines and have had a chance to field test them.
Yozuri hybrid-I thought this was a very good line. I mostly used it as a leader for carolina rigging and lindy rigging with live bait. The main line I use is fireline. I has just enough streatch to not rip the mouth out of the fish and lets the slower fish get the bait in its mouth to get a good hook set. I also spooled some on a light spinning reel and found it to be better than a lot of monos. the looping was minimal, the casting was great and it is invisable in the water. Most of all, it is twice the strength it is rated so you can put lighter line on the reel and still have confidence that it will not break.
the other line I tested was spiderline supermono. I thought it was good. I use it for leaders. I used the 8lb test and found it is invisible making it perfect for caralina rig and lindy rig. I have had a couple 5lb+ bass take me through some rock and timber and did not notice any abrasion. I have not spooled any on a reel though but is seems like it would be a little stiff and could cause problems if over spooled.
