I just changed the line on my reel. It had white fireline on it. I caught many fish last year with the line but I did not like the way the line performed. I put some green line on for this years fishing. I have used clear, yellow, green, white line with all good results.

My all time favorite line is(was) the Berkley Hi-Vis chartreuse....mainly for line watching. Unfortunately they don't make it anymore. A lot of times I'd use a low vis leader but really don't remember much of a difference between using it straight or with the leader.
I picked up some of the hi vis orange also and I'm looking forward to using it.

I like clear for mono and dark green braid. I even feel I get a few more bites in clear water with fluorocarbon. The only two applications I use hi-vis for are pitching and swimming jigs and plastics for river Walleyes and Catfishing. In the Bdub I mostly use clear mono.

Clear fluoro, Crystal Ivory mono, green Power Pro.
Anyone ever think about the red thing....
Red line disappears, but red hooks entice bites. Sounds like marketing run amok to me.

Remember the Color-C-Lector? Red goes to brown 1.5 to 2ft. deep. Red was/is a marketing ploy. Always been interested in the reverse counter-shading, tho...oh well, who knows?? On past trips I have trolled Hot-n-Tots that I had spray painted white on top, and black on bottom...caught fish. Also caught fish on the same trip with all-white, and gray back and white belly..so...I dunno!
