Clear up north. Sometimes use green here back home in the river since the river has a green tint ( when it is not muddy :) )

I am unfamiliar with the line but it seems to me that it might be useful for deep-water trolling because of the thin diameter.

I guess its just the smaller dia and ease of casting and they claim superior sensitivity.... But I'm reading you have to tie a special knot since its a bit slippy. http://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/honest-angler/2011/06/gear-review-new-berkley-nanofil-line
