Since Berkley discontinued the pink Big Game I use the Ande Premium pink line or Seaguar Flourocarbon top-shot on top of Red Power Pro.
As a previous post pointed out red is one of the first colors to disappear @ depth. Actualy disappear is a misconception (as noted by a previous post). Pink will turn to a light gray then a darker gray further down the water column. I did a study back when the issue of color came out and jumped in the water (from a boat off Catalina) to document color variations of different lines and found that pink, clear smoke and then green @ about 10' of water in order of visability.
Back in the early-mid 80's when Pink line first came out, I started to (mentally) track success of people using pink line as opposed to every other color line. (At the time I was working on a boat so I was able to track on a daily basis.) I also watched while on the overnight and multi-day trips out of SD. I also attributed my own success and many jackpots to the color line I used.
This is my own experience and I'm sure others have had similar success with other color lines. As they say Confidence is everything. YMMV
FFY.
