Wannabe to the rescue!!!
I've been playing around with it some. One of my primary rods had 15lb power pro in hi vis. Love it for deep water and in the grass. It transmits every vibration. I normally fish 2 rods at a time, one in each hand. My second rod has 6# Suffix Elite. The contrast is very noticable. I actually don't get hung as much with the braid becuase I feel what I'm about to get hung up on way earlier and can back the jig down. Light bites are much easier to detect as well.
There are really only 2 negatives - I tend to get wind whip a bit in that the line will rap the tip as I'm tossing the jig out....Now I'm talking tightlining here, not casting. The other is that if you mess up and toss your jig errantly, it'll stick to a stump or stick pretty easily.
Started out with the non hi-vis stuff, but it was so hard to see, I went to the Hi Vis. Really irks me to think the fish can see it, but so far I can't tell it's costing me fish and I know some in a lot clearer water than ours exclusively use the Hi-Vis stuff. Started out with the hi-vis and a leader of mono, but that was a serious pain. Didn't seem to effect the feel of it though.
Been thinking about going to something from Spider Wire that has alternating Hi-Vis, Low Vis. Can't remember what it's called at the moment...Might be Vicious brand now that I think about it.
FYI, Spiderwire is more stiff than power pro. Seems to have some kind of coating on it. You could put a short piece of it on a table and actually push it along. Not so or Power Pro.
Any other quandries I can unquandry for ya Just let me know, I'm here to help......well, that and fling a little poo.........oh, and to make fun of some folks occassionally.
