Hybrid

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Hey mike thanx a lot i've tried it but were not able to post wat i got... I got big CUDA like 1.2 meters long and some smaller fish it is very powerful as i believe but as all hybrids the front side goes down faster then the back side... I had an issue with the stainless steel line which i rigged it was broken after some shoots seems that on the bending area it was getting weak and rusty then the shaft went alone... So far i could not find the stainless steel line which is covered with black or orange layer that been used by riffe and neptonics will tie it with monoline but again i am afraid it will cut easily...

Hope to b able to post some fish in future...

Try emailing the manufacturer/dealer to see if you can buy some "replacement" line????

I have only built a couple of hybrids, but I have found that using a slightly larger barrel can make a big difference in the balance of a hybrid, without really affecting the maneuverability. A 1.25" tube, for example, is 25% heavier, but has about 55% more buoyancy than a 1" tube.

Of course, that pretty much means that you have to start with a CF tube, instead of a Rob Allen or other pre-formed barrel.
