Line visibility in piedmont

Installing new line for the spring fishing season (crappie and sunnies). Trying to decide between hi-vis line and regular old clear line. Does anyone have any experience in the piedmont (Harris, Jordan, etc). Water is usually pretty stained to murky, I would think a hi-vis line wouldn't make much difference. However, you do get those late spring days fishing the sunfish spawn where the water is clear and wind dies down. Decisions decisions.

Too bad reels don't come with extra spools anymore, problem would be solved.

I have always liked dark green and clear in that area. I personally don't like high vis lines unless there is a leader at the end of clear.

color of line dont matter its whats on end of the line they wont use a line you can see.

I only use high-vis line. If you are fishing multiple rods like I do, it's the only way to try and keep my sanity. Spring-time means long-lining and I need to make sure my lines all stay evenly separated. Back during the Fall and Winter we limited out several times with nothing but high-vis. It's like what the other guys stated--what's on the end of the line is the most important.

I use high-vis all the time Like they said it's what you have on the end that counts

Chief uses bright orange 1/4 inch rope and don't have a problem catching fish.




Of course he's got a bucket of minnows in the boat too.:cheers2

I like low vis. green on everything.

Take a kid outdoors!

I got the high-vis green Mr. Crappie line on all my stuff. No problems in stained or clear.

I want to clear my name and say I had no part in this comment. That is all. Haha.

i would prefer the fish not see my line, i would have zero confidence in hi vis. never used it and have no plans on trying it.

I use a mix of Hi-vis and clear lines all the time and like others have said it’s what’s on the end that matters.

It is a personal preference, I myself shot docks and only use hi-vise 4lb to detect the slightest bump or to watch the line go slack. It is like the others said it is what you have tied to the other end of that line that really makes the difference.
