2# stren hi-vis gold line

[FishDaddy09]

I've been looking for the stren gold line on the web but I can't seem to find the 2#. Does anyone have a source? I am NOT interested in using another line. Thanks

I've had the same dilemma in trying to find original 2# hi-vis Stren. A couple of years ago, I switched over to 2# hi-vis Stren crappie mono on all of my tightlining rods and have not noticed any difference in  the line's floating properties or strength. In one part of the following video, Lawrence Luoma talks about switching over to Stren Crappie Mono as well:

I have used hi-vis for 25yrs. The new line is harder see with these old eyes I am a line watcher. The old hi-vis hard to find maybe in old bait shop or garage sale   gene

If I recall correctly, ye old tackle in North Webster has some. Might try giving them a call.

I think the old hi viz gold is gone forever.   It was my go to also.  I've switched to ASSO and found it to be the closest other than price!  Tried many others and none were close as far as visibility goes.

Well I called a bud that still had a spool of original hi-vis 2# and diameter was .007 and the new crappie is .006

Stren has discontinued 2# in gold and clear. Trilene has come out with Klondike Gold. in the Coldweather line. Looks pretty close to the same color.

Hi Viz is gone as far as what I have found. Scoured the Web last year and no luck.

When I was looking for Hi-Vis somebody on sight recommended Vicious Fishing Ice. I bought 2# and it is pretty darn close to Hi-Vis. It is .006in Avg. Dia. Color is a bit paler than Hi-Vis. .GET VICIOUScom

Trilene/Berkley are under the same parent company as Stren so could be very similar, never know. I used Suffix Ice Magic in Clear (mono) on a lot of my stuff last year with no problems and they carry a orange line as light as 1 lb test; might be worth trying.

Got some Stren crappie mono in gold with a good rebate in the spring, bought a few so I am good to go for ice.  Will not go back to the ice lines after using this for the last 2 years.
