    I've started using hi-vis line in 4 and 6 lb test on spinning gear with no leader...thus far this year, I've haven't caught any less fish than in past years...bass, bream, and crappie.

    No, I do not worry about a clear leader pulling crankbaits. I am experimenting with the clear vs hi-vis at night though.

    Nope, hi-vis all the way to the eyelet on the hook. No leader required.

    Been wondering if everyone else is using hi-vis line. I bought my first a couple of years ago and put it on a couple of reels. I actually put it on what has turned out to be my favorite spinning reel and caught more fish on that reel with the line than any other I have in the last couple of years...bream, crappie and bass. Tried spider rigging Saturday for the first time with 4 poles, 2 with hi-vis and 2 with regular line, the 2 with regular line will have hi-vis before the next spider rigging trip.

    I use low vis on my casting rod, but hi vis (yellow) on my jigging/spider rigging rods. It might make a difference fishing for other species, but for Crappie and gills the hi vis seems to work better, it might even help attract some fish.
