These are great quality lines, and I have the following tests
2.5,4,5,6,8,10,12,14,16,20. They are available in the following types:
Fluoroplus (100% fluorocarbon, 2.5 thru 12# only), Cyberplex, and X-Tex
(pitching, flipping). There is from 132 yards to 110 yards on the spool.The
asking price is for 11.00 each including shipping (US only). The line
quality is far superior to USA manufactured lines. The line is
hyper-sensitive, and the bites are felt much easier. GYCB is selling Sugoi
line from Japan for 19.98 for the same spool. Here are the characteristics
for each of the lines:
Fluoroplus- 100% Fluorocarbon, with a fluorocarbon shell, it is extra
sensitive and tough. This is used for deep water fishing. The line sinks
faster than the CP (Cyberplex), but it is tougher. This is the most
sensitive of the three. I use a Team Daiwa Battler Rod, and I could easily
feel fish pick it up and let go of the baits in 65 to 70 feet deep. This
line is very sensitive.
X-Tex is a co-polymer (Nylon & Fluorocarbon). The one difference that I
noticed in the X-Tex is the absence of memory. This line has nearly the same
toughness and strength as the fluorocarbon. It is as perfect a mono as one
could ever hope to fish with. X-Tex is a perfect line for light tackle
applications. From Drop Shot to light jigging, this line fishes like a
dream. Great knot and tensile strength, and great shock resistance, but not
for topwater. Great for flipping, pitching, and dropshot. Great all around
line.
Cyberplex is also a co-polymer. This line has more of a floating quality, so
it is good for topwater, shallow crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and all around
fishing. Still extremely sensitive, this line has more monofilament than
X-Tex.
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
