Pink leader for the girls

..or just for regular Bream.

Is there any truth to the theory that they are more difficult to see than your standard clear leader?

Any recommendations?

Clear fluorocarbon leader (FC) - sunline, yamatoyo, nitlon, famell to name few.

The theory behind pink line is that just a few meters below the surface the part of the light spectrum that pink reflects is gone so it becomes invisible. Kinda like turning the lights out. There is other light around though so not quite the same as turning the lights out. Since the pink light isn't there what you will see is grey.

FC leader has similar light properties to water so under water it appears invisible. I know what choice I will make not to mention the better quality of FC line.
