    Default Line color


    Those of you who use fluorescent line, like the yellow or orange. Do you tie directly to your jig or use a clear leader?
    I don't fish dirty water. Obviously if I fished dirty water it wouldn't matter. I would like to try the hi viz line.
    Thanks guys.

    I'm sure your gonna get several answers,so here is mine.I do not like line I cannot see,and watch.Many times that's the best indication of a bight.I use line that contrast the water in most conditions,plus it helps in re tying lures.I ice fish,and use schooly rods and reels,they come filled with yellow 4lb test,many fish have decided yellow line won't bother them.
    I do see a fair amount of yellow line in the crappie section at Wally world,but I can't recall who promotes it.

    high vis, tie direct to jig. But do not fish clear water. If I did fish clear water, still think I would use high vis
