JigMe Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I wanted to get an idea what color Braided line everyone use, and if you are using high-vis line please tell us if you feel any difference from using the low-vis lines. thanks for your input guys. Quote
michang5 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I use high-viz yellow PowerPro Super 8 Slick. Didn't see it as a choice. It has really helped me with catching light-hitting fish that just pick up the lure and swim away, which seems to be about a third of the time given the light/finesse stuff I throw. Edit: I do use a fluorocarbon leader. Quote
OkeechobeeAngler Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Mossy green power pro for me. 1 Quote

5dollarsplash Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I believe I have all of those on one reel or another. I don't think it makes a monumental differance, if any, to my catch rate. Clear water folks may have different results, but I use what I find on sale, or, what is easy to see if its for a technique that requires a more closely watched line. 2 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 Hi-vis yellow + leader. Want to see my line as I'm primarily a soft-plastics fisherman. 1 Quote
ColdSVT Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I have most of em lol I used the different colors in different test. yellow was 20, green was 30 white was 35, and red was 65 lol Quote
JigMe Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 Hi-vis yellow + leader. Want to see my line as I'm primarily a soft-plastics fisherman. which brand hi-vis yellow do you use? I am looking at the sx1 high-vis yellow, any experience with it? Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 Hi Vis yellow or white Power pro. If I think I need it I'll use a marker on the first 3' but only in super clear water. I hate to fish with guys who use the green or smoke and get hung up and expect me to see their line and get the boat so that they can get unsnagged. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 which brand hi-vis yellow do you use? I am looking at the sx1 high-vis yellow, any experience with it? PowerPro in 10lb for spinning, 20lb for baitcasting. Haven't used sx1, but have used other brands including Berkley, Sufix, Spiderline, among others. Just happen to prefer regular PP over the others. Likely will try more stuff as time goes by... Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 Green Power Pro for me. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 Low Vis Green for me. It just works. A-Jay Quote
Loop_Dad Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Hi-vis yellow Power Pro. I wish they make 'fluorescent' colored braid. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 I use the black (smoke) Fireline. Quote
Avaitor63 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I use PowerPro Moss Green,very good line Quote
Super User RoLo Posted January 22, 2014 Super User Posted January 22, 2014 Chartreuse & Black Berkley Fireline Tracer Braid (no leader) The colors are alternated in 30-inch bands to help the angler see the ultra-fine braid (fish love this color-combination) (Line color is on my top priority list, just beneath my doomsday prepper list :-) Roger Quote
KDW96 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Yellow powerpro mostly,use green on some reels.. Id like to find some white? Quote
JigMe Posted January 22, 2014 Author Posted January 22, 2014 Yellow powerpro mostly,use green on some reels.. Id like to find some white? Sufix sells white/Ghost Quote
KDW96 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Sufix sells white/Ghost Is the Sufix actually white? Theres none sold anywhere around me too see it in hand.Have you used the suffix,just wondered how you liked it. Thanks for the heads up. Quote

Theres none sold anywhere around me too see it in hand.Have you used the suffix,just wondered how you liked it. Thanks for the heads up. I got a spool from ***.com, Sufix call it Ghost color but it is actually white. You can easily see it above the water, and I have 10lb on a spinning reel. 1 Quote
gr8outdoorz Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Hi-vis yellow for me too. Too many subtle takes. Got to be able to see my line. Quote
mnbassman23 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Green PP or Green Sunline FX2 with no leader. Quote
