Hello everyone,when I lived in South Florida some years ago, Pink Ande was all the rage, most charter boats and most saltwater fishermen down there used it exclusively. This line has very low visibility underwater. It is very limp but has a LOT of stretch. It also is not a thin line, but holds more IGFA records than any line made by far.It is weird to see Red Cajun come out years later touting how low viz it is underwater, same concept Ande had years ago. Anyway, enough about that, there are so many lines out there it is mind boggling. All monofilaments are a comprimise of sorts, i.e. soft= stretch, hard usually is very abrasion resistant but has lots of memory and is a pain to cast. Some of the co-polymer lines are very nice because of the great properties they have,(nice to cast while having a good abrasion resistant outer layer). I personally like Trilene XL low vis green, but I have noticed it is quite hard to see when you are trolling (my eyes have seen better days so to speak). I don't believe that at Willard low vis is all that important because the water is not really clear (I'm sure some will disagree). I am guilty of using floro leader and I'm not sure if I notice much difference in catch rates, but I bet I would in very clear water or if using heavier lines. Momoi Hi Catch seems to be quite popular in So. Cal. and it is quite inexpensive as well. I may give that line a try next time on my heavy baitcaster. We now have such a great selection of lines out there, and they all seem to have specific uses,it is nice to have choices, but as a salesman I know if you give a person too many choices they will lock up and not know what to choose. Pick a line and try it if you don't like it try another, it is easy to change out and is not that much money (except for microdyneema or better known as super lines/braid/fused).I hope to meet all of you out at the Wiper tournament/contest,I'm sure it will be a pleasure. Thank you and have a GREAT DAY!![][]
