I use the high vis but don't think the color matters. Don't waste your money on fluorocarbon if you're just targeting bass.......especially if you're fishing at night.

I have to disagree...It's much more effective if you match your underwear...  |

I think what he meant was that flouro is not necessary for leader material. A lot of people (myself included) use mono for leaders and I haven't noticed a difference in catch rate when fishing side by side with someone using flouro. I still use flouro in some situations, but mostly it's Ande leader material. Way cheaper than the flouro. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I used to think leaders were necessary in order to prevent a fish from seeing the line until my first time fishing from my yak. I clipped an RM Mackerel swimmer onto 80# JB hollow core using just a breakaway clip with no leader about 20'-25' from the transom and caught 2 small keepers before I realized I forgot the leader. I still use leaders to avoid break offs when fish head for the rocks only because braid doesn't have much abrasion resistance. Who would have thought such large diameter white braid wouldn't be noticed by a fish during the day, and it's not like the fishing was great either; Tagger and Bigfish were fishing the same area with no luck and I'm sure they didn't forget the leaders.
If you think about it they still caught fish back when there were no clear lines so I don't think the color will matter at all.

Floro is more for clearer waters like the FL keys just as an example.
Mono is all you need around here.
