Submitted by Captain Asparagus of NZ from ALABAMA on 9/16/02 12:20:00 AM
Hi Guys, just heard a bit of unconfirmed scuttlebutt going around that yo-zuri has been shut down by it's bankers. That is Yo-zuri in japan, not a distributor in the states or anything. has anyone heard anything about this? Confirm or Deny?? Cheers, Stu.

junk like that hybrid line they were marketing, I am not surprised. They may have good lures but their line was crap.

The line is horrid about about memory..I used it for kingfishing in a tournament and it was on the reels but about 12 days and it coiled terrible.. But that fine if that works for YOUR applications!

Ollie Bear from CALIFORNIA says I was not dissapointed using it for deep water rockies.
Coiling and casting are not used in dropping a pound or two of shiny hex bars and a hoochie for rockfish and lings at 400' deep. At 350-400', there is little sunlight and the gunmetal color of the line is not a factor. The reduced stretch was a bonus as deckhands hate braided lines. I caught plenty of deepwater rockies using the stuff.In this limited capaity, I can't criticize yo-zuri lines.
