invisi-braid and transparent braids

[extreme1018]

has any one tried and how do you like some of the newfangled "invisible braids". i tried some of the fireline crystal and it kinda resembled winch cable going through the water. so i replaced it after one use. whta have you tried.

the whole concept of totally invisible braid is ridiculous.not even flouro is completely invisible.no braid has a chance of coming close.

Why not use a totally visible (I often use white) braided line, with a fluorocarbon leader ? This allows me to see my end much better, and the fishes end is still as invisible as you can get. (for whatever that matters). Personally, I think its more important that my fluorocarbon or mono leader is more abasion resistent around rocks, or over a big basses teeth, and it gives me a bit of a shock absorber, when used in conjuction with an almost zero stretch braided mainline.

Peace,

i dont really have any major intentions on using it. mostly just curious than anything else. wondering if it was real or just a gimmick.

I'm using the Spiderwire Invisibraid for it's out of water visibility. It is not invisible under water but less visible than the green tinted braids. I'm still not sure it will be my line of choice though. Still in the testing phase.
