    Or attract them?

    For braided line, I use Stren Super Braid HI Vis myself because it seems to hold the color better.

    Wink My PowerPro 10/2 has faded ...

    but, it's still hi-vis enough to see a strike, better than I can with any clear/blu or lo-vis line :D

    You CAN unspool it and reverse it, putting the unfaded portion to use, since it is still just as strong ... faded or not.

    I use my PowerPro 10/2 hi-vis yellow braid, for casting purposes ... exclusively. I don't vertical jig enough to comment on its use, for that method ... but, I have heard that it can be a little iffy for that purpose. Being as light and limp as it is ... it can cause control problems, when using light weight baits & jigging (tip wrapping), especially in windy conditions. But, for the purpose I use it (casting RR's, and the occasional jig or Whirly Bee) ... I have had mostly positive results. When using PowerPro braid ... my hooksets are done at about 1/3 normal speed/power (vs my mono rigged outfits) and I still get a solid hookup 99% of the time.
