Cerhardt161 Posted September 18, 2021 Posted September 18, 2021 I stopped by gander outdoors today for there 90% off all fishing items since sadly there stopping there fishing and hunting sections. Got talking to a guy working there and mentioned i needed some braid if they had any left and he showed me what turned into the secret stash. They had 3 3000 yard spools of 10, 15, 30 lb and at 90% off they were between 15-21$ each(and a 2000 yard 8lb floro spool for 9$). The only problem is the braid was in moss green and for the 10 and 15 i would much prefer any color brighter for spinning rod use. Is there any way to dye the whole spool of line? Im worried if i mess it up ill ruin the one good score ive gotten from any retail store. Quote

Only one braided maker that stands on their color being longer lasting and reviews seem to bear this out with Fins and its only the black. A FC or mono leader or be of the mindset that bass really don't care. 1 Quote
Cerhardt161 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Posted September 18, 2021 I dont think the fish mind it but i have a hard time seeing the line especially fishing smallmouth up north where sometimes you have to keep your bait dead still and watch the bumps and ticks. If its fishing rivers or current it helps drastically for me to see my line at all times too. Quote
Super User Bankc Posted September 18, 2021 Super User Posted September 18, 2021 Not really. Braided line is plastic, so it doesn't absorb dye. You could paint the outside. Some people do that with a sharpie or whatever. But it's a whole lot easier to go from light colors to dark colors than from dark colors to light colors. So you'd have to fade the line first, then paint it, and then reapply the paint because it wouldn't last long. Even then, it wouldn't be as bright as line that was made that way from the start. Quote
