Super User ChrisD46 Posted September 14, 2016 Super User Posted September 14, 2016 In your typical #40 lb. to #65 lb. braid line size do you have a preference between the traditional green color braid or have you switched to the new Hi - Viz yellow color braid for better line visibility ? While I really like the new Hi - Viz yellow color braid in thinner diameter spinning applications - I'm concerned that in the larger braid diameter used for Frog'n that the bright color yellow may make bass line shy ? What says you - green or yellow for Frog'n braid ? Quote
IndianaFinesse Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I use green colored braid, with frogs there really isn't any advantage to seeing your line since you should already be watching the frog, which is the only thing that matters anyway. Yellow isn't going to help you tell when the fish has moved off with your frog, you can see when your frog disappears. 3 Quote

Super User Redlinerobert Posted September 14, 2016 Super User Posted September 14, 2016 I was lucky to find some yellow 70lb Samurai braid that's been discontinued. I'll be spooling up a couple reels with that line for big topwater lures. 1 Quote

Super User soflabasser Posted September 17, 2016 Super User Posted September 17, 2016 My favorite color for braided line is green like the color of a avocado. 1 Quote
Nomad357 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 This was my next question. Very new at this thanks Chris for the thread. I will go with green. Quote
Cardiologist Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I use 20# power pro braid in dark green for everything. Even frogs. Fish can't see line nor clips. Quote
