yozuri colors

Thanks Weagle. I may be in pcola myself in a few days. If so I will give you an update.

How do you guys spool your reels for the lures? Braid, mon, or mixture of braid with mon on top? What lb test? Is 15 lb braid with 14-16 lb mon on top enought?

15-17 # mono should do you good for the king and spanish you can go to j&m's and they will spool your reel for you for a small fee. and the good line is momoi at least thats what i like

FWIW Mac, my lure throwing rig is spooled with 12# mono. Like Kingkiller said, I use the Momoi illusion because it is thinner than most, stronger than most, and cast better than anything I've tried. That puts around 375 yards on my 50 class okumo reel. It's handled everything including kings, reds, jacks, bonito, and sharks. I also bought a three pound spool of YoZuri hybrid last year in 12# on an auction site. I tried it...very strong and very durable, but it doesn't cast quite as well as the Momoi, but then it was less than half the price.

i think the momoi line has thinner diameter line than most and its strong really strong its the only line i use.

I appreciate the info. I will check it out at J&M. Thanks.

For casting artificials, I'm spooling plain old Trilene Big Game 12# on an older Zebco Cardinal 7 and a Penn 710. I'm using a 7' or 7 1/2' medium action Ugly Stick or Allstar. Pretty low budget compared to a lot of the nice tackle I see on the pier, but it's held up well. Of course I'm a two or three time a year pier dweller, not an every other day hard core Pier Pounder.
