I use 6 to 8 lb monofiliament for casting sliders and 8lb mono when flipping timber with 11 ft pole. All of my winter fishing is tightlining (two 1/4 oz jigs)using various braids even up to 50 lb. Current favorite is Power Pro 30# test. With our murky water in Northeast Kansas I don't think line visibility matters except for the fisherman to be able to see.
Wished Kansas would allow multiple rods so I could learn how to spider rig. But I think the spider riggers are missing the thrill of the thump one gets holding the rods. Guess for tournament type fishing the spider riggers would get more fish in the boat.
Ah what a terrible conditiong to be a addict and need that "Thump Fix".
Good fishing
