Sorry about posting this thread on report board but I wanted a good amount of exposure especially on the west coast.

I decided to try using hi-vis line on my out/center riggers rods this season. I do not need to replace all the line on my reels as it is only a year or so old. I figure a top shot of hi-vis is the way to go.

Does anyone do this and if so how do you install the line? How many yards of hi-vis/top shot??? What knot do you use to join the two lines??? Ect. ect.

I am thinking of 150-200 yards of hi-vis and a Bimini twist/Albright knot combination to join them.

I have all 50 TW Penn reels spooled with 80lb Ande
