Thread: Hi Viz Line

I've been thinking about trying some colored line to help me see it better. I mostly fish for spanish with bubble rigs and don't think the bright colored line would spook the fish because I either use a clear mono leader or a wire leader from the swivel to the hook. I also fish for flounder with a Carolina rig and bull minnows but I use a florocarbon leader on that rig. Would a bright colored main line spook flounder? If you were going to use a "hi viz" line, what color and brand would you recommend. By the way, I need something I can see while wearing blue mirror Costas.

dont know about the line color situation but i know momoi is my line of choice :banana:

I use Berkley big game in solar green.

Flounder are sneaky and hesitant to begin with, don't see why you would need it for flounder bottom fishing. For kings and situations with lots of lines moving in different directions it can definitely help.
I like the momoi yellow for high vis. It can spook a fish in super clear water.

we used stren high impact hi-vis green.

A lot of old farts use HI- Vis line so they can see it, as long as you run a clear or Fluorocarbon leader off it, it is fine. IMHO

Unless you are including yourself in that category, I'd say you're walking on thin ice. Some of us old farts aren't so old fartish. oke1:

ETA: I use it no so much for me but for others to see where I am.

[size=12pt]I would be interested to hear your definition of "Old Farts"
Thank you[/size]

Whatever the definition, my picture is probably right next to it.

I like the blue Momoi---It isn't like neon, but I can still see where my line is so that I can get it tangled with the maximum number of people in the shortest time. I have several awards for that.

I use Momoi hi-vis yellow on almost all my rods. I fish mainly off the four seasons pier. It doesn't bother the flounder, but I do use a clear leader.
also use it for the speckled trout and they are VERY spooky. use it on spanish and king rigs too.
