As good as it gets for “seeing” a bite.

I use it for night fishing with a black light, but never in daytime.

I used it a lot back in the 80's, it was the only thing I'd use. I always had problems with knots pulling out and switched to Berkley products and a line that Bagley's sold for a while. Eventually I started using Bass Pro Shops Excel mono. It by far was the best I had ever loaded on a reel. Right now I'm running Berkley again. Vanish, XL, XT, and Big Game in various sizes. When I started fishing again it was nearly impossible to find any BPS Excel or I'd be running that, at least where I need monofilament.

I dont use Stren blue but I do use Berkley XL fluorescent blue when fishing for suspended fish on a slack line.

Few years ago I had another forum member in the boat with me and he was bragging about how great his flurocarbon was. I told him its going to be worthless once we move out deep because he wont be able to see the bite the way we were planning on fishing. I picked up my rod with XL blue on it and put over 30 bass in the boat in a couple of hours. He caught 1 using the same bait because he couldnt see the line jump and twitch when he got bit. Next trip he had XL blue on one of his rods. LOL

if your a line watcher, high-viz clear blue is the ticket, especially in stained water...don't care for it in the gin clear water we have in these rocky reservoirs, but give me grass, stained water game on...it is stretchy, but i have a violent hook set and the stretch helps absorb that shock... so if the application is right - thumbs up... that's why I have close to 30 rigged rods in the boat... 2cents

Back in the day my favorite STREN line was Yellow. That way when you got tangled up with the other idiots on the cattle boat or fishing pier you could cut all the other lines except yours!

Big game if you want mono
P Line CX Premium
McCoys
Ande

Just a few that are better. 50 years ago Stren clear blue was my go to line but there wasn't that many lines to choose from back then.

Its all about those bragging rights fellas!

*For the record, I use Stren Blue and Power Pro for my bass stuff and Big Game for my carp and catfish rods. Been very happy with all of those.
