It will stretch, not like mono does, but it will stretch a bit. The thing is that if you stretch YoZuri and then you take the strain off it, it will return to its original form with little to no affect to the line. With Fluoro, if you stretch it, it causes stress damage to the line, and it does weaken it a bit. Retying with Fluoro is a must, and should be done constantly. Usually it is done 3-5ft at a time.

But I am alright using that yozuri....Because in my head I am hesitant. I have plenty to "waste" but I just spooled it up a couple trips ago. And I cannot stand the thought of ditching it.

I will take YoZuri over any pure fluoro any day. I am eager to try that McCoys coply that I keep hearing about.

Since you asked for my opinion, I give it...

I did water samples and sechi disk readings in several lakes in Polk Co over several years for the DEP.  A sechi disk is basically a white steel plate you drop in the water and record the depth at which it disappears.  Most Florida lakes will average less than 3 feet so unless you are in an ultra clear highly pressured pit, then line visibility is not a factor.

Since, in my opinion, visibility in not the deciding factor and we don't have deep enough water to worry about line bow, that leaves STRETCH as most important.

You really only need 2 line types to fish all Florida water, 12 lb mono and 40-65 lb braid.

I use mono for anything with treble hooks.  For treble baits you use a sweep set and you want the stretch to absorb any shock while landing a large fish.

I use 40 lb braid for light weight plastics to increase casting distance and to "cut" through light vegetation.

I use 65 lb braid for hand to hand combat in the slop.

Berkely 12 lb Big Game and Power pro are my favorites.

[LgMouthGambler]

Big game is good stuff, and I were to use mono, that would be a good choice.

Didnt get to measure her but i thought i would still share, was rushing to get to my softball game. Caught her on a booyah frog on my new froggin rod

Nice catch BFN!!

[bfn18]

I get more hits on my booyah then any other frog. I went to Dick's a couple months ago and got about 8 that were on sale plus 20% off coupon i had

[Capt. BassinLou]

Well... I am going to hit up that lake i scouted on Tues tomorrow  morning. Fingers  crossed. It will probably be one of my last good outings for the month. I will keep you  guys posted.

Makes sense. Seeing as there are a couple out of a dozen ponds I fish that I would deem clear, which probably aren't gin spring fed kingsley clear, I just might as well throw braid. The distance and management on a caster is un-disputable. I am 50-50 with mono/braid on a spinning outfit and prefer mono for trebles except lipless.

Hey Lmg send me that cajun mono or siege I will send you the rest of that yozuri 

[MCS]

Beautiful morning...... That worries me...lol!!

That looks like my type of fishin  IMHO not that it matters, I woulda hit it before the  got up that bright. But good luck.

[MCS]

Hit up my spot  about 5:50 am and pitched a 7" ribbon tail...missed a couple short strikes went to a bb cricket. Landed 2 one keeper missed a third.....lull then around 7 am missed a quick strike and ran out of room on a follower bringing the cricket in. All hell broke loose around 7:15 and they were busting little ways off. Only had my pitching setup and those two baits so I cast out, couldn't connect on one. Then had to get to the office. Chilly out had the hoodie on, but FALL is here!!!

That's a sweet deal....I love the booyah spinnerbaits too and scored a bunch at academy for half price.
My two frog colors are cricket frog and bullfrog...I tried a KVD in black and yellow but wanna get a booyah in black, just haven't found that color in the stores locally yet. Maybe next trip to gander.

What YoZuri you got?

[bfn18]

I never tried the KVD frogs. My buddy had one and didnt like the walking action on it. I love my livetarget frogs too but for some reason bass around my area dont like them at all.

[MCS]

What YoZuri you got?

a 600 yd spool of 15 # with about 200 yds used

I am not a fan of it, I got it for the color it was the only one in black I could find locally.

Good to know. I want to try out one of the Lunker combat frogs, either Zulu or Fox Trot. Ohh and btw, thanks for helping me pick out a new froggin rod. I absolutely love my new rod.

Cool man glad to hear it. I am skeptical about those lunker frogs....I will stick to booyah, for the price and effectiveness they can't be beat. The spro and LT frogs are twice as much and Lou swears by the LT I have the mouse and it sucks, I just am not gonna pay 10 bucks.

Yep... LT frogs are awesome! !
