Cajun Redcast Line

[Captain Underpants]

So, is it really invisible for a certain depth? Is it still strong and thin? Any thoughts?

There are a lot of good lines out there that you can buy without all those outlandish hooks and claims to convince you into buying them. Save your money and buy yourself some good quality line in low-vis green. Only my opinion.

I absolutely agree with Jim, the only thing red cast is good for is backing.  IMHO that stuff is junk.

No , No , and No .

imho cajun red cast is the best mono made.it's strong.limp and casts well.abrasion resistance is excellent and doesn't cost much.the line doesn't dissapear but grays out at depth making it low vis.i have had no problems catching fish on it and had my best year 2 years ago when i was using it.i used braid this year but i'm switching back to cajun red cast next season.

I love the line. I dont think the red color scares fish off, but it certainly doesnt disapear. Lo-vis green is the absoloute least visible color, excluding florocarbon, but i still use and love red cast. But stay away from red lightning its not nearly as good.

ive had zero problems with this line  imho   its the best mono

all of those who don't think the line becomes close to invisible in deeper water should really start to reasearch red and how it appears underwater.i've red plenty of articles by divers ,scientists and photographers on the subject.the evidence is there that it does become camoflaged into it's surroundings .Water acts as a selective filter. If one were to suspend a white light above the surface of a tank of water that was 1000' deep, the colors from the white light would be filtered out selectively one-by-one. It is gradual. There is no abrupt interface. For example, most of the red is gone from the light after 10 feet. Some of the orange is gone. Less of the yellow is lost, etc. At 25' most of the orange is gone. At 35' most of the yellow is gone. This continues through the spectrum until all that is left is violet light and that fades out after hundreds of feet. So, at the bottom of this 1000' tank of water there would be little or no light!

water as you go deeper has less light and becomes murkier in all but the clearest of lakes.this causes red cast which turns greyish to blend in and be less visible.it's like when you are driving through a haze you can't see anything that's grey either.it's also the reason underwater photographers use special filters and programs to compensate for color changes in their underwater photos.

I've had nothing but problems with Cajun Red. It has some of the worst memory I have used yet. I personally started having trouble on back lashes when the line would bind it would snap into so when I finally got the lash out I had to either retie or swithch rods beacuse there wouldn't be enough line to continue without respooling. I too agree that it's only shining point is backing. I've switched all my poles to suffix mono and braid and I love the stuff espically the braid.

was it red lighning ,red cast or cajun advantage?there are 4 different versions including their ice line.cajun red lightning is like wire and is exactly like you described.it was originally used for trolling in the ocean.

[harshman]

It was red cast I had all of my toubles with.

I decide to try it in my spinning reels when it came out mostly b/c its handle characteristics, strength and low limps and for me it is OK, no great, I still use it intermittently. I don't care about the invisibility factor since my average depth is about 6' in stained water. It didn't affected by fishing what so ever.

I found that I like Tripe Fish RX much better for spinning reel.

Probably should have said this up front. I'm using a huge Spincast reel. Its the RSC5 model made by rhino (www.rhinofishing.com)
