But if I knew that it REALLY made that much of a difference, I would just get it... is it a gimmick or is it that much less noticeable in the water? And if stripers are so line-shy, why the hell do they hit an umbrella with a wire frame?

Never cut the line - break off! If you are using braid use a leader with less strength than the main line and pull straight back, breaking free at the knot. When you cut free you leave a long hunk of line for others to tangle on or for someone to trip on when walking in the dark.
This is a problem on the rocks at the ditch.
