This has been a topic on my mind since I was a kid. I have always been paranoid about fish seeing my line. I am not as smart about these topics as Doug Hanah, but I find it hard to belive that they will not shy away from a slow moving bait, jig grub etc... in clear highland lakes. I have taken people to Dale with me that have never fished it and would not belive me that they should use 6 pound test.
They showed up with 10, even 8 pound test and have outfished them 3 fish to 1. Now I do belive on a jerkbait or crank, even burning a spinnerbait, that you can get away with 8 to 10. The only problem is, you'r bait will not go as deep.
Just my opinion,
God Bless Our Soldiers!
