As long as you are vertical jigging, or even long-lining by stripping line out off the reels it should be okay. I bought some 8# viscous fluorocarbon last year to fish a clear lake here locally. The memory on the line is absolutely horrible, it's a nightmare when trying to cast an retrieve as far as tangles and such. Matter of fact bought some 4# Hi viz mono to replace the 8# fluoro today and will be re-spooling all the reels I have that line on them here after while. I can say with confidence that it did not work for me and my needs based on my personal experience, I would probably stick with the 4# mono or may try 6# or 8# if snags and line breaking is an issue.
