    Fall fishing is upon us and I’m finally out of xt solar 6#
    What has been your experience with other hi vis lines?
    I’ve tried Stren gold,too much stretch for me. What is your favorite?

    Maxima makes a line that is pink in color thats strong and works great. Cabelas have it in their store in Owatonna, at least the last time I was there they did which was a while ago. Thanks, Bill

    Where did you find it Dave? I checked Cabelas yesterday and they didn’t have it in solar.

    I found a very good supply of it at the Ace Hardware in LaCrosse. By at least 2 spools when you find it. Good luck.

    I tried the new Vanish Transition line and I like it a lot! It is a flourocarbon line that starts out clear like normal Vanish, but when exposed to sunlight, it turns a bright gold color. Very easy to see, plus, it is still invisible under water just like a clear flourocarbon.

    Worked very well for me on walleyes, now I am going to try it for drop-shotting and flipping for bass.
