I used to use iron silk in solar mint but now its discontinued.

I need a new night fishing line thats strong enough for bigger 15lbs+cats, I perfer a line that can be strung through large long lighted bobbers and can be used with a bobber-stop knot. Ive spent many frustrated hours just trying to get a braided line through my thill 12" long bobber,then have my bobber knot slide on every cast/bite.I need a high visabilty type of line that MUST GLOW UNDER a BLACKLIGHT. I enjoy night fishing and need to see my line for knot tying and line de-tangleing. I use a spinning type reel that I like to make long casts from shore.

I hate any line that can tie itself, into crazy knots,or tangles,loops around my rod end or gets caught behind spool causing a re-rigg of everything.

Ive "fired" fireline for line tying itsef into impossable to undo knots.

Anyone have any advise or lines in mind? , Ill consider any strong castable/flourescent(high visability) lines.

thankyou,

Bobber stops have trouble with braid. The best thing you can do is leave the tag ends long on the bobber stops so you can constantly tighten them up.

Braid will always make a impossible not. Specially the thin stuff. Back lashes, hooks that coming flying out of the water are bound to get tangled.

as for visibility, I try to get contrasting colors for my headlamp. For instance my head lamp has a red and green light so I stay with those two color lines. When the red hits the red I can really see the line. Not sure many can help you with "black" light line colors.

trilene big cat green mono 50lbs test, glows great under a black light, ditch your bobber for a balloon with a glow stick inserted inside of it, tie the balloon knot around your main line.
