Love the Power Pro. PhishPhreak, very curious about the new hi vis yellow for the plug rods.
I will probably run at least a 10 foot leader of UG.
I think the Hi vis yellow would be great for bobber. The moss green is great. Most fly lines are Hi vis and with a 8 or so foot leader, they don't detract from fish strikes, so I don't think hi Vis drift or bobber lines will detract. Except in ultra clear drift situation, then I would say a Hi vis would detract.

I am currently using Power Pro hi-vis line for bobber fishing. No complaints so far, except that I broke a couple of fish off when the fluorocarbon leader (Vanish) poinked on the set. The Vanish has now vanished forever from my set-ups and Maxima leader is back.

Thumper and fish4steel -

The Vanish is terrible in line diameters less than 20 lbs. The line frays too easily and knot strength is terrible, even when wetting before clinching.
