Default Rio Lumalux

Any used the Rio lumalux for sea trouting,I'm finding it tough to see my present off white line and think if it does what it say's the Lumalux might be the answer .

I don't try to see my line when night sea trout fishing,I do it by feel.In fact i'll often use a clear intermediate.

As do I Jim,but strange as it may sound we have found that in the very low water conditions we have now that a cast slightly up-stream with no mend (10-15 deg) and allowing the bend on the line to bring the fly to the fish is working well . Lets say off the right hand bank means holding the rod slightly over the left shoulder and watching the line for for indication.A bit like dead drifting nymphs.Works a treat but plays havoc on the peepers.
