I started using the vicious panfish 4lb hi-vis yellow this past winter. It has been highly instrumental in strike detection. Not every strike you will feel the tick or the thump. This line has enabled me to detect the slightest movement and see those ticks that cannot be felt. Doesnt seem to be detectable to the fish as ive caught 2 citation sized fish this year on this line as well as numerous other nice sized crappie and other species. Cant wait for them to come up with a glow in the dark line
