The Outdoor Line Forum

My dad's eyes are bad and my wife is not an experienced angler. Seems that a Hi-vis mono would fit the bill for both visibility and forgiveness. So, I bought a spool of Izorline Platinum Hi-vis. It's a lime green color. What concerns me is that, under a blacklight, the line glows a neon green. Should I be worried that UV rays are going to make this line glow at depth and possibly spook fish? Anybody have a recommendation for Hi-vis line that's doesn't glow under UV. Really appreciate any feedback from downrigger guys and moochers that have used Hi-vis mono. Thanks.

We've been fishing Izor hi-vis for a long time off the downriggers, and the salmon don't really seem to care
Really like being able to see where everyone's line is in poor light

I tested out the new Transoptic line from Berkley last summer in Alaska and really liked it. It's hi-vis above water and disappears underwater. It's impact resistance and holds up really wells. After a summer of serious abuse it passed the test!

I hate to agree with Robbo very often but I have to in this case... Berkley Big Game in Solar Collector on the downriggers and Berkley Transoptic for mooching and 'rigging!

Haven't used the solar collector yet. Might need to pick some up for my new knucklebusters...yes...Canucklebusters

Hey Robbo, why does Nelly always hate to agree with us?

Thanks for the feedback. I saw the Berkley transoptic on your new product list and read the online reviews. Always nervous about trying a new product but I'll trust that Robbo gave it a good test. See you tomorrow on the radio. If anybody else has an opinion or recommendation, I'm still listening.

Izorline HiVis works just fine, been using it fer years without issue.
