I Maybe it is sense of smell or what the fish sees with his vision versus what you see with yours. No matter how well the imitation can be constructed it might not appear the same to the fish due to the additional color range perspective. Maybe it smells different or the real one gives some movement that is detected by the trout. But I sure do not think it has much to do with a hook or line. Presentation is so awful much more important than worrying about a leader,line and seeing hooks.

I have found that GAMMA line has really good abrasion resistance, and is not too bad on a spinning outfit

I had a reel spooled with 6 lb Gamma and hated it for jumping off the reel in coils. It is tough but I thought it was too stiff.

After seeing that Alabama rig video that was posted after the TR Elite event I've concluded that bass don't care there is a line there an will eat food no matter what it is attached to.

I was watching a show one time, they were testing the different colors of fishing line, came to the conclusion that orange fishing line was the only line that the fish were spooked by.

This is the kind of study I would like to see done about the additional color range of in a fishes vision range. I would like something that show who different materials and paint might look in those ranges. It would be interesting to see although it is still a very small part of their world and how they perceive things.

Seibert Outdoors has tested a few jig colors at various depths to see what they look like to the human eye:

P-line CX Premium gets my vote. I use the 4# for trout and the 8# for my bass fishing. No complaints here.

I use Berkleys' Vanish 8lbs test. I'll put it up against p-line, or anyother line any day and twice on the river fishing days.

My fishing buddies have seen me snag on the river and pull our 16 ft with 25hp jet upstream. I've yet to have a river smallie break it.
