I use Berkley SOLAR colored Trilene when making leaders when I want high visibility. It has similar thickness and stiffness to Maxima Chameleon leader material but it bright green and highly visible. I use it more for casting practice when I want to watch my leader unroll. I have it in 25lb test and 20lb test but haven't seen it in 15lb test which would be really nice.
I don't use it for slinky indicators but rather use it in my hand tied leader directly. I have also snelled the trilene onto an existing leader as a little, bright green bead. It's a bit less obnoxious than a bright green leader butt section.

This is a great question, ultimately I agree with Misha. For me it's all about connectivity so I tight line my rigs without any coiled indicators as I believe it is restrictive. However, if if tight lining is new it can be a really great tool, and you can use uncoiled colored line as well to help follow the line and notice pauses or subtle strikes.
My question is split shot vs weighted flies ? What do you think?
I believe the obnoxious amount of weight is what I pull so slightly against to achieve connectivity, and I would say I have had more luck this way- but, fishing the weighted point fly is a lot easier.
Thoughts?
