I personally like using hi vis orange, because it's easy to see at night.

Like dan I normally use clear but I do Know a few guys that like bright colours as it can be seen easier at night.

just clear for me on all occasions as I have seen coloured lines make a difference on several occasions. If colours didnt matter lure manufacturers wouldn't put bright coloured patches on their lures (except to catch anglers :D )
