Braided line

Do you believe this is due to visibility? Or maybe because 12lb test is way more stiff and doesn't allow the typically small bait on a DS to move naturally like 6lb line does? 

For weightless presentations (which a DS basically becomes once the weight is on the bottom), I've always felt that lighter line is better because it keeps the bait from making odd/jerky movements.

Honestly I don't know. The only way to tell would be to start drop shotting with strait braid in 10 lb test which is like 2 or 4 lb mono? I'm on a kick with light line right now lol makes a 4 or 5 lb bass feel like a giant pulling my drag set at 2 or 3 lbs!

I come from the whole trout ultra light fly fishing game where it was all about as small as possible. But I believe 100% that it makes a difference and so do the better sticks in the club I fish tournaments in. I fish Lake Fork in Tx and these fish get hammered. A lot of the older guys say I rather use 12lb and possibly lose some fish than fish heavier lines and get less bites. I obviously fish a leader but a few months ago when I got my new rigs I wanted to fish high viz yellow to leader on my weightless rigs to line watch. Well I wasn't catchin anything w 5 to 7' leaders, went to green braid w leader and have been doing well. Even w that long leader in shallow water that high viz braid is coming past them first. Even the guides I talk to in Fork say fish as light as u can get away with. Yea it has cost me fish but it has also put me in the money. Finished 2nd 2 Thursday's ago. How do I fix this pic errrrrr!

Open the image in windows paint if its on your PC and choose Select All. Next choose Rotate and in that drop down choose Flip Vertical. Now save your image overwriting the old one or new name. 

Or fish in the States.

It's on my phone, and it's correct on my phone. So I opened the pic editor on my phone and flipped and saved it in every position and when I post it's still upside down?

Mine do this to, for no apparent reason. If you open the full size picture it's right side up.

Maybe it's something Glen can look at with the website software. When I do some things on my phone here it's acts odd at times. Like trying to backspace out a paragraph or several lines. It gets hung and sits still but acts as if it's trying to go. Not a big deal for me but the picture thing would be a distraction.
