    I buy it at a little country store near home.

    Like most of the 4# line on the market, it's 6# line with a 4# label.

    What is the hi vis for trolling? I just use reg 6 lb for everything. Could i get better results with different lines for different situations (night fishing or trolling)?

    The Hi Vis makes it easier for me to see my lines that are being pulled (when longlining) when I need to cast a line between two other lines. It also helps seeing trash headed to one of your lines so you can lift that rod without pulling thru the floating trash. Another thing that comes to mind...when a fish is on you can see the line a bit better and try to keep lines from getting tangled by pulling the fish away from another line.

    So crappie arent shy about line? I know for stripers and other species you almost need floro to keep them from seeing the line.

    There are lots of different opinions on that. Some people only use clear mono or fluoro. Others swear by colored lines. I really like the hi vis lines for jig fishing -- makes line watching so much easier.

    If all you are going to use this P Line for is trolling it should be fine. I spooled some of my casting rods with it and took it off after one trip. This line holds too much memory and is too stiff in my opinion. I am currently using Vicious hi vis I bought from Monks Crappie on my trolling rods and have been happy. I see where Berkley is now in solar (hi vis orange). Once I use up all the Vicious line I will go to the Berkley, which is all I use on my casting rods. Berkley is a soft but strong line and is not bad for memory.
