bassking1976 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 braided line has lightened in color yeah i know i should change it but its still good heard a trick bout using marker to recolor so i just run black marker along or do i blotch it Quote
Kowen117 Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I wouldn't worry about it. As long as the line is still strong and casts fine I wouldn't about color. Quote
Super User Marty Posted March 22, 2011 Super User Posted March 22, 2011 I agree with the previous poster. Besides, is there any reason to believe that the faded color should be any less effective than the original? Not that I can think of. Quote
HookSetDon Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 i agree with the above statements but as for using a marker you can just run it up the line. I read an article on that, using a black sharpie to run the first ft or two of faded braid. Quote
backwater4 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Like the others said, just run a black sharpie up the line. I also don't think it matters, but I do it to my braid. Just a confidence thing. Quote
ProCraft Joe Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Take a wide felt tipped marker of whatever color and cut the tip in the middle with a razor blade. Put the line in the groove you cut and pull it through. It works great. Quote
Bass Junkie Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 A fishing partner of mine has been using the same braid for 4 years..... Its still as good as ever....(Obviously on spinning gear.... Backlashes reduce the life of braid... Cutting it off the spol is painful.... :-/) Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted March 23, 2011 Super User Posted March 23, 2011 I agree with the previous poster. Besides, is there any reason to believe that the faded color should be any less effective than the original? Not that I can think of. Ditto... Quote
KC Bass Fanatic Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I run a black or green sharpie up the first 12" of line after I tie on. I read somewhere that some pro did it so I thought I'd be cool if I did it too ;D Quote
