Hello chaps hope you are all well, in your experience which types of line stay the cleanest overnight as the water i am currently on has an abundance of algae at present and with this bit of sun today i noticed my lines were like laser beams with the build up of algae undoubtedly giving the game away. A gentle shake clears it from close in but I'm not confident it isn't the same further out, any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍

If your fishing at any sort of distance chances are your lines on the deck anyway, even if fishing tight lines, so It won't make any difference, given the bottom will have algae on it it'll blend in. Personally it wouldn't bother me if they spook further up the line.

didn't think about it that way, thank youmate, I'm only fishing 25 yards out but slacker than a spaniels ear ole so hopefully it won't be an issue, the one on a zig may be a different matter though lol

It will happen with all lines, but I have heard it's more likely with flouro lines
