High Visibility Lines

Recommended Posts

I would appreciate any members opinion on a high visibility non braid line for use with spinning gear.I mostly fish at night in shallow water & use a short fluorocabon leader.My concerns are line memory, line twist & visibility.I prefer mono as it seems more hassle free but a hi-vis copolymer hybrid would also do the trick.

Very light braid in the 8-10 lb, range makes a great spinning reel line.  Super small and very sensitive...you'll feel every tap. No need to set the hook hard just a quick snap is all it takes.  The stuff lasts for years.   Its available in hi vis (mostly yellowish) and I've used it for a while now and love it. Now that spinning reels are using larger spool diameters even on smaller lightweight reels wind knots aren't a big problem.  Downside is the small braid tends to be a little $$. :twocents:

I know you said non braided but if you want really hi vis line that will last a long time then I can't recommend braided line enough.  I have two hi vis braids that I use for wacky rig, shaky head and drop shot.  The more expensive option is the Sunline SX1 braid which I have in 12lb test that I put an 8lb fluorocarbon leader on for drop shot/Ned rig.  The other option that I have started using recently is the Daiwa J-Braid X4 which I have in 15lb test to an 8-10 pound leader for my wacky rig and drop shot.  I really can't tell you how much of a difference the braid makes when you are catching finicky fish.  The braid is super super sensitive and being able to see those subtle bites makes a world of difference.  I truly believe if you try it, you won't regret it.
