Finally A Line That Makes A Difference!YO-ZURI HYBRID Our goal of developing a new, revolutionary,fishing line was lofty – make a line that wasstronger, more abrasion resistant, more sensitiveand more durable than any nylon lines on themarket, and make it affordable. When we figuredout how to extrude nylon and fluorocarbon,under extremely precise tolerances—into a complex,molecularly bonded fishing line—we knewwe had something special.Hybrid is the first and only fishing line thatmolecularly bonds nylon and fluorocarbon duringextrusion. The result is a strong, dense newmaterial that we call Hybrid. Hybrid takesadvantage of the awesome abrasion resistanceand sensitivity of fluorocarbon, while utilizingthe flexibility and stretch ofnylon. The result will open youreyes to a new level of fishingline performance.Blue (BU) Smoke Purple (SP) Camo Green (GR) Low-Vis Clear (CL) Pink (PK)FluoroNylonOTHERYo-Zuri Hybrid molecularly bonds fluorocarbonand nylon during an exclusive,patented extrusion process. The result is adenser line that is tougher, more sensitiveand more resistant to cuts and nicksthroughout the entire diameter of the line.Other manufacturers would have you believe athin coating of fluorocarbon on the outside ofthe line gives you the fluorocarbon advantage.This dated technology only serves to waterproofthe nylon, and contributes very little to itsstrength or visibility.30
WHY IS YO-ZURI HYBRID BETTER THAN OTHER FISHING LINES?• Strength: Because of the blend of nylon and fluorocarbon our line breaks muchhigher than its test listed and diameter (see chart).• Stretch: Hybrid has a lower stretch because if the addition of fluorocarbon. Thenylon allows for cast ability. This gives Hybrid more hook setting power.• Sensitivity: The fluorocarbon blend transfers activity or “feeling” much fasterthan regular fishing lines. This increased transmission speed allows an anglerto feel and react to more bites.• Wet Strength: Hybrid doesn’t absorb water and has a result retains 100% of itsdry knot and tensile strength. Regular fishing lines can absorb water which canweaken line up to 30%!• UV Resistance: Hybrid’s fluorocarbon qualities allow it to resist UV light whichcan weaken line and shorten its durability. Hybrid stays stronger, longer. ThisHybrid durability allows the line to last four to five times longer than regularfishing lines.• Casting Distance: Hybrid’s slick finish allows it to easily slide through the guidescausing little resistance during the cast and increases distance.The nylon qualitiesof Hybrid allow it to be softer and suppler line for distance casting.• Low Visibility: Hybrid’s blend of fluorocarbon and nylon allow it to have lowerlight refractory which means less visibility underwater.• Abrasion Resistance: The hard, smooth outer feel created by the blend offluorocarbon and nylon of Hybrid helps resist abrasion from rocks, wrecks,snags, or sharp toothed fish.Diameter 275 Yds. 600 Yds 1 Lb.

Ultra Soft is a blend of nylonand fluorocarbon but it is specificallymade for spinning tackle becauseof it's low memory features that arecrucial for spinning gear. Besides ultrasoft being more supple it still is very abrasionresistant, water proof, UV resistant, and has less stretch then monofilaments.Ultra soft is available in 2 colors clear and a new mist green. It isavailable from 2 pound test through 20 pound test. If there is a line perfectfor spinning gear but has the characteristics of a tough line with thesuppleness that can be used in any circumstance Yo-Zuri Hybrid UltraSoft is the perfect line for you.Diameter 275 Yds. 600 Yds 1 Lb.
