It's great at night especially for jig fishing. There's nothing better than getting slammed on a jig in total darkness. I have used it during the day in hydrilla mats. With all that grass they have a harder time seeing it and putting one and one together. In clear water I don't use it during the day and I don't like it around rocks either. I don't think that it matters at night as far as visability. One thing that could come into play is the fish picks it up it can feel the tension and low stretch quality of the line and I have had them drop it after feeling it.
