You know I love ya babe, but how on Heaven's Earth would you know if it

WAS
a problem?

Are you sure you get as many bites as you would if you were using a less
visable string?

I, for one, think you aren't ;-)


Quite simple. I've fished with Gil, clients and other people using either
monofilament lines or leaders of flourocarbon or mono, while I've fished the
exact same water using PowerPro. My catch ratio is the same or better using
the straight superline as those using less visible products.

THAT's what I base my opinion on.

I wouldn't know either way, but has anyone used the Yozuri hybrid in smoke
color. I spooled up with it yesterday gonna try it out today, lake is clear,
I've used the green but not the smoke, I imagine it's less visible but until
I get a talking fish I don't know

I too haven't had any feedback from a talking fish, so visibility as it
relates to a fish is an unknown. But I have used it in the past as an
experiment and found (for a mono type line) it to be tough, relatively low
stretch and fairly decent line.

It's probably what I would buy if I bought non-superlines.

It's a nice mix between Floro and nylon

I've got some input on this one. Fireline, IMO, does have a sliding ratio
as the line becomes white. Less boated fish. I have tried using two
fireline rigged rods. When I do the end for end trade, take the line off and
turn it around and respool again. Using one that is white (old) and one
that is black (new) with the same colored tube, every other cast to the same
spot and found the black line does produce a lot more fish and bites. I
always blacken the last twenty feet of fireline. PPro too. Nothing
scientific but there is a significant difference. In my lake you just can't
use mono if you are in the weeds or near the bottom. My lake has about a
twenty foot visibility depth.
Unlessen you're not out there to get fish in the boat that is ;-)
