Hi folks- I did a search on flourescent, but nothing came back-

Can someone please outline for me advantages / disadvantages of flourescent line?  Thanks

do you mean hi-vis , as in hi-vis yellow ? are you talking about something like stren glacier blue ?? or are you talking about saltwater flourescent line made to be seen from far off the boat ???? .......  

You can see it better using a black light when your fishing at night.

Well, I recently bought some Spiderwire mono to try out, and it is a flouro blue color.  Didn't know that at the time-

But, It does not seem to be a deterrent so far.

I think I read somewhere that it was more easily visible in situations like working soft plastics, to help detect a subtle hit.

I did not think about night fishing and black lights....thanks

Clear/blue flourescent is the only line i use. XL if i can get it, Stren if i must. It's easy to see in any sun/cloud conditions, works for me no matter what lure i'm using, and is relatively cheap.

Use Stren Clear Blue (Flo) most of the time so I can see it. Particularly valuable on cloudy days when pitching over wood, throwing a frog into cover and especially when throwing soft stick baits into Minnesota reeds.

In those situations it is often hard to see clear line on cloudy days even wearing polaroids.
