It really depends on water clarity and whether or not you're fishing fast or slow.

Agreed. Just as important is the fact mono floats, fluro sinks.

I love to swim a jig in very clear to stained water visibility probably 2 to 3 feet, but I will jig it , bounce it and swim it.

I had some small bass fry swiming circles around my Fluorocarbon, so I know they can see it just fine.

In the 70s and 80s all anybody fished with was fluorescent line. We caught plenty of fish on it.

I have a theory that it's more the action with the lb test not the line but who knows.

All I can say it try fishing mono with same bait as your partner that is using fluro and you will find out.

A lot of different variables here as mentioned such as type of lure being fished, presentation, water Clarity, cover, pressure and more.
In my experience it doesn't make that much of a difference most of the time. However sometimes it makes a huge difference.
I would go with whatever you have confidence in. I think confidence matters just as much as anything else with any setup.

Water clarity is key!
When fishing water with less than 3' visibility I doubt you will notice a difference. 5'+ visibility I would say Fluro has a edge over Mono.
Braid??? I promise you they can see it no problem. That's why so many people use Fluro leaders on their braid now. I think its silly but whatever......

They can see all of it. Just like they can see the wires on a alabama rig. I catch fish at amistad worm fishing on 80lb braid. Don't over think it.

Don't think it matters to the fish. I just don't like the stretch of mono.
