High vis and water clarity

[mississippi]

I know alot of folks use the high vis line. I have it on a couple of poles. And this has been discussed before I think. With the water at Arkabutla high all summer and clearing, do you think it can affect the bite. When I put my rod tip in the water I can see the line about a foot under the surface. Any thoughts. Or do most folks who use hi vis use a clear leader?

If the crappie can see it I dont think they mind. I fish nothing but hi vis (no leader) and catch fish all year long...spider rigging and trolling..

I use a leader, but I also use braid.

I use hi vis 10 lbs on all my trolling and spider rigging poles on all 4 corp lakes. It does seem to bother the fish.

I use hi vis 30/8 on my cranking rods here at Greers and the visibility is about 8' right now. I still catch plenty of fish.
