Does anyone use a high visibility fluorescent line, on the flats ?
If so, what are the advantages ?

I pretty much go on the same theory as Chalk. I have used guide's rods that were rigged with fluorescent line and it sure is nice to have that extra visibilility.
In some cases like bottom fishing in deep or dirty water I can't believe it would matter to the fish but it is still helpful to be able to see the line better in the boat to clear tangles etc.
It would be really nice to use the fluorescent line in situations where seeing the line move is the first clue you are getting a bite.
Fishing makes me miss the eyesight of youth more than anything else I do.

I have fluorescent line on my offshore spinners. I like that. Fluorescent line could be used for inshore if you used a long enough leader.

Have you noticed that fly lines have got more brightly coloured, in recent years ?
It prompts me to use longer mono leaders , even fluorocarbon.
Perhaps thats the answer for lure fishing on the flats, a high colour main line, with a long fluoro leader.
As red is supposed to be the colour that "disappears" under water first, wouldn,t it be OK to use red line for bottom fishing ?

I can't help but wonder how many lines, baits, etc....are designed to catch fishermen. I prefer green line. I don't know if it helps, but it's what I like.
