I have been using 4# test in green. It is more difficult to see than a spider web. Takes me a lot longer to tie a lure on.
That is 2# test NanoFil....in white.....with a 2# test fluorocarbon leader for abrasion resistance.....you can see the knot down the line. It may show up in a camera shot but I can hardly see it. I bought some new in so called Hi-Vis but can't see it either. I love the stuff but just got new glasses and it is harder each year to see it. I do have a couple of rods spooled up with some 6# test and 17# test also....but one ain't going to throw a Trout Magnet with them. I tried some 1# test last fall but it is no longer on my reels...cant see it at all....it is .001 diameter. But it worked out really well on Gills. I could cast a Trout Magnet clean out of site with that stuff. Always looking for new types and kinds of line to try...and I have tried a bunch.
