line watching

[gabowman]

I changed from Flour. back to Trilene 4# line this year. Still experimenting. Havent found the hi-vis. line anywhere around here without ordering it just to try so I wasnt going to buy that much and vouldnt come out having to pay shipping charges. Anyway, for nite fishing the regular line works OK. From the lights I can still see it.

What kind of line do you guys use for line watching? My Wal-Mart stop caring florescent and I can’t seem to find anything on cabalas or basspro’s web site
thanks for the help

My partner has used Stren Hi-vis Gold, forever (4lb test). I've experimented with several, myself. Currently using Iron Silk Solar Mint 4-6lb (hi-vis green), PowerPro Yellow (10/2 braid), Trilene Photochromic 4lb, and Stren Hi-vis Gold 4lb. As I understand it, Iron Silk is on the way out ... so I'll be looking for a replacement line for it (another brand of hi-vis green). I've always heard good things about Ande line, so I may be looking at what they have to offer in hi-vis "green".

Stren Hi-Vis Gold in 4#. Very good line and seems to have less memory than the fluorescent blue Stren.

I am a die hard clear blue stren user. but I am having a little trouble seeing it anymore, so I bought a spool of the hi vis yellow, stren, of course. We were spider-rigging in fairly clear water last summer and I put it on 1 rod and we caught as many on that one rod than any other 3. I believe that I will try it a whole lot more this spring.
OH man, I just went to bass pro and forgot to get some more.
darn the bad luck, guess I'll have to go back

Cajun Red is easy to see...probably not as good of line as stren though.

One of the best Crappie fishermen I know uses Excel 6 pound test.

I bought some and I like it, it is easy to see and seems not to have a lot of memory.

I probably will switch to 4 pound next ordeer.
