After a recent trip I was having some issues seeing my braid in the water. im currently running green power pro. If I made the switch to the high vis yellow with a fluro leader do you think I would have any issues spooking fish? Itd pretty much be used strictly for fishing soft plastics with a slack line.

I haven't fished with high vis yellow, but from what I've heard and seen from some videos on youtube it doesn't spook the fish. If you do decide to try it, its going to be just like trying a bait you don't have confidence in, but once you start getting solid fish you gain confidence in the bait (line) and it will be no different than before, now your just using a different bait (line).

I fished with high vis yellow since it first came out surfishing , I never saw the need for fresh water but if you think you need it , go for it

I fish Nanofil (bright white) with a fluoro leader in clear water for smallmouth and have no problem getting them to bite.

I use high vis yellow mostly straight, except when the water is really clear (then I add a fluoro leader). I run black sharpy for the length of the rod. After a couple of times on the water, the black fade a bit and becomes bit grayish greenish. I seems to be doing okay.

I have two reels, one baitcasting and one spinning, filled with 30# test PP. I use a 6' 17# test fluoro leader, connected with an Alberto knot. No problems, no worries. :)

I'm slowly phasing out all my green braid for the brighter colors, both fresh and salt combos.

The last 6ft or so of the braid get colored with a black Sharpie, and I normally use a leader unless extremely heavy cover. I'm not sure it truly makes a difference but it makes me feel better :)

Did you use leaders before?  Why start if not, just color the last few feet of line with a permanent marker.  If you already use a leader, and that works, then carry on. ;)

I have tried all various colors of PowerPro.  Didn't notice a real difference.  I stick with green though for my own personal preferece.

I have caught many many bass both largemouth and smallmouth with yellow power pro tied directly to a jig head and grub fishing for walleye. 

 

I would not hesitate to use it for a visual approach to bass fishing, such as weightless senkos or light t-rigs.

Oh and for those who use a sharpie... pick up a BROWN sharpie at walmart and use that. Brown camos in the water, nothing in the water is black. Black line stands out in the water which is why most braid companies do not make a black anymore. Brown sharpies only come in singles and are around a buck a piece right now for the back to school shopping.
