ArcticCat500 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I scored 50lb moss green for my BC's and think Santa will be adding a couple spools of 15 & 20 for my spinning gear. My question is colors, whats good for what, your thoughts Please. Thanks Quote
OnthePotomac Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 50lb Power Pro is a good line for frog/buzzbait/jig/swimbait fishing, which is what I use it for in green. For these purposes green works for me. If you are going to use it for jig fishing, green would also work and if you have fairly clear water add a floro leader. The Tidal Potomac is usually 1-2 ft of visibility, so I never use a leader for jig fishing. Hope this helps. Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted December 21, 2008 Super User Posted December 21, 2008 most guys i know either use a leader or color the last 6 feet black.this means you can use whatever color you like.a lot of guys are using high vis yellow when doing this.i use green. Quote
BARON49_Northern NY Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I fish Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence river in crystal clear water and use green 50lb Power Pro for my jig and creature fishing in thick milfoil. No leader or coloring the line needed. Quote
joeyd50 Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I've use a Sharpie permanent marker to color the end black or brown. Good Luck Joe Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 I've only used the green. I have it on one bc rig for casting spinnerbaits through the grass, as well as slop work. I have it on a few spinning rigs that I use for grubs and jig-worms around grass. In open water I use a fluoro leader with a uni-uni knot. I also use one of the spinning rigs, with leader, to cast jigs/live baits & plastics to inland lake walleye. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 I only use HiVis Yellow because it is easier to see on windy days which it when I fish mostly. Quote
Matt 825 Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 I only use HiVis Yellow because it is easier to see on windy days which it when I fish mostly. X2 Its so much easier to see yellow than green. You will see your line jump way easier with the yellow line. If I am fishing where I think the fish can see my line I will either use a fluro leader or a sharpie and color the line black. Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted December 23, 2008 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted December 23, 2008 I only use HiVis Yellow because it is easier to see on windy days which it when I fish mostly. X3 SOOOOOO Much easier to see. I use a sharpie to darken the line for the last 2-3 ft and a scent to cover the sharpie smell, if there is one. Quote
