livemusic Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I just got in some Sunline FX2 braid that is black/blue color and wow, I cannot see this. For fishing soft plastics, not good! I can't see the line! Sometimes I know I got a fish because I see the line moving. I have never tried fluorocarbon, curious to use it. Is it any good for soft plastics (fluke, worm, creature baits)? BTW, the water around here is pretty stained. I fish mostly heavy cover lakes. No rocks but lots of snags. (Louisiana) Do you favor high vis line? Quote
tholmes Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I use Trilene Big Game in Solar color. I gotta be able to see my line when fishing jigs and bottom bouncing soft plastics. Tom Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted April 9, 2015 Super User Posted April 9, 2015 I use hi vis yellow for my jigs and plastics as well because I'm a line watcher. I just use a fluorocarbon leader. 1 Quote
Alpha Male Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I appear to be in the minority here. I use straight fluoro for plastics. I dont have a problem seeing the line. I use braid with a leader for jigs. 1 Quote

You can see your line move but the fluoro leader will make it invisible to the fish. Do you favor high vis line? Quote
Super User FishTank Posted April 9, 2015 Super User Posted April 9, 2015 I use FC for soft plastics. As far as high vis line, I like Senshi from Seagur. It is new to me this year and so far it has not disappointed. Out of the water it is fluorescent. It is also visible under black light. Quote

Drew03cmc Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I'm having a hard time seeing my green PP for tossing jigs, so I am going to purchase some yellow 15/4 for the spinning rod and see if that helps. The leader is Seaguar 8lb. Quote
Boogey Man Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Stren clear blue flourescent for these aging eyes, lol. I tried flourocarbon for a while, didn't notice a different in my success rate, even in gin clear water, so I went back to something I could see. 2 Quote
long island basser Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 I use the yellow power pro, 20lb on spinning and 40lb on baitcasting, love the stuff. I usually color the last 6ft or so with a black sharpie and or use a floro leader if I feel the need. 1 Quote

Super User Catch and Grease Posted April 10, 2015 Super User Posted April 10, 2015 I'm usually using dark green power pro without a leader. Quote
