Default High vis hollow braid

Does anyone know whether you can buy high vis (i.e.bright yellow/red) hollow braid for making braided loops and nymphing indicators?

I haven't found anything after searching the net.

This stuff is a high-vis hollow braid designed for marking the line when "clipping up" for carp. It's terrible for the intended use, it slips, a bit of pole elastic is better, but I have just tried making a braided loop out of it and it seems to work well. It is quite thin, but I've just managed to stuff two inches of DT 8 F up it:

That looks perfect Steve! Many thanks! You don't by any chance want to sell on your spool?
