Thanks.
I like the hi-vis line. All my reels have bright stuff. Sufix makes some real bright lines. I fish a long shocker, about 15 feet or so and tie an albright knot to my running line. The albright is great once your fingers have learned to seat it right. I use it with braid as well, though, here, many wraps are needed for a confident finish. The uni to uni is great too, but I don't think it trims up as nice.
I still fish mono, even when jigging the current, though two of my reels have braid. I side with Dave Pickering: don't toss your mono spools yet.
The reason I like the Hi-Vis lines, esp. when working jigs in a heavy current, is that you can follow the sweep of the jig by the angle of the line. Sometimes at night I lose contact with the jig; I think it is still off to my right say, when really it has swept pass my center and is on my left side. Braid helps here, but still I love following the line, sweeping in the tide. It is one reason I'm thinking of the stren.
