Thread: Hi-Vis Yellow question

Depending on the number of lines you intend to pull...you'll find the colored line will help show you where you need to cast after reeling in a fish. You'll need to "see" the other lines so you can make a decent cast between those lines to get your jig back out. Also, the colored line helps you bring in a fish without allowing it to tangle other lines because you can "see" which side the fish is pulling towards. All I have ever used for longlining is 6 lb test.

The fish dont mind that yellow line either.Thumbs Up

Won't bother the fish at all.

I won't reveal the identity of a fellow fisherman that catches lots of fish but he uses orange line that looks as big as rope, which it may very well be looking at the size of his fish.


Chief, you care to add anything?

I use 6 lb. Mr Crappie Hi-Vis green (looks yellow to me) on all my rods. If it affects the bite I can't tell it. After some time the line looses it's yellow color. Being able to see the line is a huge advantage. Now that I see half as well as I used to, I couldn't do without it.

Can you still get the Mr. Crappie line in the 1/4 lb spools? BPS doesn't have it anymore & the Academy website only has 500 yard spools.

dont use that junk called vicicus get you the mr crappie hi vis #6 or some thing besides vicicus i use mr crappie # 6 for longliling works great for all the reasons gabowman out lined in good detail by the way you can get mr crappie in 1600yds spools at my loco tackle shop he is a bass pro shop dealer and will ship stuff out

fro got the price for the mr crappie line is $ 7.49 for 1600 yds

The Mr. Crappie Hi-Vis is all I will use anymore. If you're going to run multiple rods, its the only way to go. You can't completely eliminate lines from tangling, but the high-vis will help you see the lines out over the water and then helps in the boat when the inevitable tangle does occur.

another vote for Mr. Crappie line. GREAT STUFF. i use the camo 4 lb line on all my rigs and 6lb for the long line trolling stuff which i do so little of.
