    Re: A Good Line For Line Watching?

    Meier is selling trilene max on sale for 5.50 for 330 yards, it is yellow and turns clear in water just like vanish. Bass pro sells max but no colors, and meier is way cheaper.

    Its probably exactly like the Photochromic line they usaed to make. It had a yellow tint. In the low sun it turned gold outside the water, but remained clear under water. When bright out, it turned a dim color, or the other way around. I forget, but I do know the Photochromic line would glow when used at night under a blacklight. Good all-around line. Great abrasion resistance too.

    You might want to look into a bright colored braid with a mono or flouro leader. I use yellow PowerPro with a P-Line CXX leader on one of my spinning rigs. I just spooled up Fireline Crystal with a CXX leader on one of my baitcasters. The Fireline is more of a bright white than a clear...hope to try it out in the next week or so. You'll feel a lot more with braid as well, which is a plus with plastics and jigs.

    the red cajun line is suppost disappear a few feet under. im sure that varies with water clarity tho and probably not a good choice for shallow water.

    I don't know, it might be photochromic repackaged under a different name. I didn't even know photochromic was available. I was out by Meijer today and sure enough the Trilene Maxx Photochromic was half off like Bob said ($5 and change) so I picked up some 12lb. I've never tried it, but at least I'll be able to see it. Thanks fellas...

    Bass Pro Xcel in Florescent Blue is great line watching line. However, since it is made in China now, I have heard it isn't as good as the older Made in USA line from about 3 years ago.

    Just take a black permanent marker and make marks about every couple of feet, that way you can see any line.
