Hi Vis line choices

[silverside]

I just Ordered some Trilene XL green in 6,8,,and 10, from Cabelas. Being a newbie I hope thats not a mistake.
Waiting for the wheather to warm up here in Wisconsin

Trilene xl is a great time tested line. You will not be sorry. I used it for 30 years.

Go with the Gamma PanFish. It has very little memory and has great breaking strength. If you look on their website you will see that 4 lb. has a break strength of 8.5, 6 lb. is 13, and 8 is 15.

Does Gamma offer a hi-vis version?

Gamma is good. So is viscous.

I used Gamma line today for the first time and it cast great with little memory. On a cold windy day it performed very well. I have the Hi Vis yellow 4 LB and fishing with it for 6 hours had zero issues. I have Trilene XL for years and that was a solid line too.

Good luck

Update: I ordered Gamma Panfish line today in 4 lb. I’ll post my experience in a couple weeks

I've been using 6lb hi-viz braid for casting jigs for a while and I like it, its not good around structure though.. one little nick from a doc screw and its done.

For hi-viz mono, I've been using crappie maxx from bass pro lately. Its decent. Nothing great at all, but its pretty limp and real strong. For high end hi-viz line, i've used trilene sensation orange (really expensive), trilene xl solar (good but hard to find), stren gold (good basic line), sufix elite in the yellow (too much stretch) and sufix siege in orange (too stiff).

I haven't really found my favorite yet. Going to try slime next I think.

Someone asked the advantage to hi-viz line... you can see your line walking sideways or jump (twitch) when a fish eats it long before you will feel it in a lot of cases. Helps you set the hook and get him turned your way before he can turn and go down around a dock pole or tree branch.

I use hi vis because these old eyes can see it much better. Doesn’t bother the fish so I’m glad of that.

I have always used Stren when dock shooting. Also wanting to go to High Vis instead of the clear, I purchased 2 different Stren high vis gold off the internet. That stuff was junk. I sure wish I could find it locally and a good spool to test it out. Never had a problem from the clear 6lb clear stren.

Might try the Gamma now

Thanks for all the reviews

Give P-Line CXX a try. I’ve been very happy with it so far.
