motodmast Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 uh there is no real best color my man, its all personal preference, depend on what you plan on doing with that setup, if your gonna be using a senko say deadsticking, wacky rig, any type of bait where you have slack line, a HI-viz color (yellow, Red)will help you detect line movement easier. other than that any color is fine i wouldn't go over 20lb braid on your spinning real. 12-15 is perfect diameter and allows for long smooth casts, and if you tie on a leader, you won't cut into the leader material with the bigger LB braid.

Avaitor63 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I think PowerPro Green Moss is a good color.Don't forget to tie on some Mono or Fluorocarbon Before the braid so it does'nt harm the spool or slippage. I use 20lb test.Hope this helps.Hope this helps. 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Do you want the braid to match the reel's color or conflict with it? What color is the reel? Once we know the color of your reel we can give you the best color of braid to look good. Lots of braid come in the color green. We want to be sure that the green color matches the reel's colors so there is not a big conflict of colors and the reel does not look good. Let us know. 1 Quote
BassAssassins14 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 The reel is red and black, it's a Stradic ci4 Quote
BenB54 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I have 10# red pp on two of my ci4's and 12# berkley nanofil on the third. I got red because it was on sale, but it just so happens to look good on those reels also. Quote
bassin is addicting Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 with that reel...i'd go with red power pro.... imo Quote
Super User Darren. Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Color is totally up to you. As for matching with red, just be aware that red may bleed more than others, depending on the dye used in manufacturing. I've heard newer red braids don't bleed as much as red braid from say 5 years ago. For me, yellow wins the day. Its all about visibility the way I fish (and my aging eyes). Quote
pbizzle Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I believe that a white braid would look good because it would bring out the white on the Stradic logo. I think that if you used a red braid along with the red spool there would be to much red. The white wouldn't conflict, but it would make the reel's colors pop more. Quote
