The tri color does help with seeing your sighter in different lights on the river ...and it casting good too too bad they dont have tri color in 4x.
The lightest sighter material out there (that you can get without crazy shipping times and costs).
Easy to see, especially for the thin diameter.
Use it for my euro 11’ running mono (NY Tribs require 15’ max leader in fly zone). Works great.
Used as a sighter
With varying lights dancing off the water, it really does help to have two colors that will either reflect or refract light. In essence, the red will absorb more light on darker days, while the fluorescent yellow will show up on brighter days to help in any euronymphing applications you may delve into. On a different note, the smaller the diameter of your indicator mono, the more you feel and see how often subtle takes come and go.
I used 13 lb down to 7 lb WHITE MONO successfully in the Carson, Truckee and Walker River (East and West flows) while Euro nymphing.. Great stuff!
Line works great as a EURO running line and leader line all in one. Some guys use lines as low as 5 lb, however I use the 8 lb range for better "grabability". The thinner the line the less the wind effects the cast. White line fairly easy to see. Since switching from 10-12 lb line catch rate has gone up....it just casts better.
I build a lot of leaders for Euro Nymphing it only use Cortland products. They last forever, they're very strong. They do everything you want a leader to do.
