DaveSurfs Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Happy New Year folks. For those of you who use it, what color power pro do you use for inshore or fresh water? I had yellow on my offshore rod with flourocarbon leader. do you think that will work inshore or should I change to moss green + flouro? (targeting Striped Bass inshore, LMB or smallies in fresh water w/ a spinning outfit) How about for catfish? Will the line color make a difference to a cat? (conventional reel). Thanks, Dave Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted January 2, 2011 Super User Posted January 2, 2011 I use what color looks best on my reel to be honest : Although I use a leader so it doesn't matter, lol. You can probably use any color, just sharpie about the first few feet black. Id say maybe one color for inshore, and one for cats etc 8-) Quote
Stasher1 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I use yellow for freshwater, with a fluoro leader. The fish don't seem to mind the color and it's easier for me to see. Quote
BossHoss Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I wouldn't worry about catfish... they can see well, but they have about 18x the "taste buds" of a largemouth and several other amazing senses so vision is really that big of a deal. I have seen plenty of guides using bright yellow braid for topwater strippers, and the fish don't seem to care. As long as your using a leader I wouldn't worry about it.... So in closing...I wouldn't worry about it.. use whatever color you want. Quote
northern basser Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Moss green is hard to see if any of your techniques require "line watching". Also PP bleeds over time so red can be bad for boat carpet. High vis. yellow w/ a flouro leader or use a green sharpy and color the line for a couple ft. from the lure. Quote
bigfruits Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Moss green is hard to see if any of your techniques require "line watching". i have the green and i will get the yellow next time. green is very hard to see. its easier for me to see 6lb clear flouro... Quote
B-Dozer Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I use white. Most people use a sharpie color of their choice anyway because of color fade. Quote
SeanW Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I use what color looks best on my reel to be honest :Although I use a leader so it doesn't matter, lol. You can probably use any color, just sharpie about the first few feet black. Id say maybe one color for inshore, and one for cats etc 8-) Any color is fine. They all bleed like no tomorrow and fade quickly. As quoted a black sharpie is really the key. Dont over do the sharpie, its best if its streaked, think camo. That breaks up the visability the best.

Bass Junkie Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I personally use Moss Green 100% of the time. I like the natrual apperance for flipping, frogging, ect. Its probably a confidence thing, but thats what I do. Quote
DaveSurfs Posted January 3, 2011 Author Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks everyone. Hadn't heard of the sharpie trick. I'll have to give that a try! Tight Lines, Dave Quote
pasadenafishin Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 yeah, like everyones said it doesnt seem to make a difference to me, just get whatever color you find is easier for knot tying Quote
