I can't see fluorocarbon line! Is there something else I can use?

Question:
I can't see fluorocarbon line! In dingy water can I use Fireline Crystal without a fluorocarbon leader?

Answer:
I will use braided line in all types of water clarity depending on the type of cover I am fishing. If you believe that the conditions you are faced with require you to see the line then I would use the Fireline without a fluorocarbon leader with no reservations. In dingy water I would use the Fireline Crystal as you suggested and always be sure to feel for the bite with you fingers rather than relying on sight of the line alone for strike detection. Remember to keep the braided line taunt so feel and see the bite though the line.

Good Luck!
