Test Diameter *Avg.Break Strength (lbs.) 250Yds. Color 275Yds. Color MM Inches SM CL CG SM CL DG CG 4 0.235 0.009 8.5 - - - - ● ● - ● 6 0.263 0.010 11.9 - - - - ● ● - ● 8 0.283 0.011 12.0 - - - - ● ● - ● 10 0.308 0.012 16.5 - - - ● ● - ●

This is my pet peeve with lines. If it breaks at 8.5#, it's NOT 4# line, despite what the label says.

BTW, this is not a knock on Yo-zuri. All the line companies do this.

I tried Crappie-Maxx and not a big fan. Seems to me it would break lot easier............and that is with litewirehooks............Don't use anymore.

I haven't tried Crappie-Maxx...since I am still using Mr. Crappie (original). I stocked up on it when I heard it was no longer going to be made as Mr. Crappie. I have enough on hand to last a couple of life times. #6 Mr. Crappie and I can about pull a stump off the bottom before it will break.

My buddy has had mixed results with Crappie-Max...usually has to strip a couple hundred yards off the spool to get to the good line.

I also like Ande #6 in flo. green.

if you leave them in the light it will detoriate the line . from reel to tip of pole and back to handle is 25 ft on a 12 ft . pole

I use 6lb test on all my long line poles.

Well, I went out and bought me a roll of this fishing line and I really liked it a lot. I was worried that the fish would see it and head the other way, but we ended up with 12 good fish that night. Now, I have to figure out how to post pictures. Lol

I use Mr. crappie hi vis yellow all the way...I do use line conditioner on it when shootin docks! 6 lb test will straighten a hook ! Unless its a Matzuo sickle they break!! heheheh

I use it in all my crappie poles.
