Kind of a different question

[joedog]

I lot of anglers use a black sharpie on thier braided fishing lines, me included.
Now I'm thinking of trying a heavy mono, 50lb plus for frogging. The motivation is to stop pike bite offs and not have to use tieable wire. With a split ring at the nose the wire works 'ok' not crippling the action totally but it's still not a real good 'walking' presentation. More of a 'drunking Irishman' walk.
So to the question, why not take a sharpie to the heavy, very visible (to me anyways) mono?

Think it won't stick?
Think it won't stay stuck on?
Am I making a simple solution (got it here from a thread I posted awhile back) in to a complicated obsession?
Think I'm just wasting my time?
Think 50 lb is enough?

Any insight welcomed.

Oh I use braid now and have yet to get the mono so if you have a fav feel free to say but I'm not really looking for high buck seeing the setup will have one duty...FROGGING.
Should mention one of my braid polls has tieable wire 30 test leader with a Norman speed clip. Tieable wire isn't as tieable as they would like you to believe.
And remember the sole purpose is to help with pike bite off and rather than tie a mono leader on (might as well keep braid then) figured I'd just spool the whole thing with mono.

Thanks for the help!
