Recently I have been exploring ways to improve my catch of Ling Cod, Halibut, Rockfish, & Salmon in the Central California coast area. I currently use 20lb Berkley big game. Using it is like using a very large rubber band to detect bites. In talking to other fisherman, I am spooling up a Hi Vis Braided line. Is the Hi Vis going to be a problem? I am also using Floro Carbon leader. How long should the FC leader be to avoid the braided line being detected? Can this length be shorter is I use a standard gray colored braided line? Any help/comments about the line or other fishing tips would be appreciated. <br><br>
