Braid line colour

What colour braid do you use and why? I’ve seen red,blue, yellow, pink wont the fish see this easy.

Me personally, I am transitioning over to high-vis yellow on most of my rods. I panfish a lot, and do the walleye, less frequent bass fishing as possible if on the right water.

I started using braid on all my rods years ago. Power Pro green. With vision being more of an interest, I see no downside in the yellow, and it helps with pretty much all my fishing. I use a leader often, but at times on certain water, I doubt it matters… all depending on how and where I am fishing.

Two of the rods I toss cranks on the most (still spinning) have moss green, I think 15 or 20#. There I often use no leader.

I also use heavier line now… started with 5 – 8# on everything, now I have at least 8 even on my panfishing rods, usually the take off line from bigger jigging spools. I think a couple have 10#, and I see no problem with it. Better in brush or snaggy stuff, and just easier working with once broken in a bit.

I’ve use Red power pro, moss green, and Hi-vis yellow…If I’m casting, I usually tie to a 12″ leader. If I’m using is for trolling cranks or rigs, I also use a F-carbon leader, and length is seldom less that 24″…

I personally use moss green or timber brown but I have heard of a lot of guys using hi vis yellow and using a black sharpie to darken the last two feet.

You guys need to showe how you troll cranks on ice

Canada eh?

English sir.

I fish 832 ice braid in both white and hi vis neon. No leader needed. Catch plenty of fish without it but if you are nervous about it put a section of Fluoro on.

I run 6lb or 10lb braid on almost all my setups. I do run a 8lb floro leader on all set ups. I mainly do this with a swivel to elimate line twist as well as if theres any doubt I know I have floro on there so the fish are not seeing the line. – QB

I use Hi-Viz with a fluoro leader when fishing Jigs, T-Rigs, and Wacky Rigs. For Frogs I to Moss Green Direct.

When Cajun Braid sold out, I stocked up. Love the stuff. I keep it treated with Reel Magic and its been durable and lasting multiple years for me. The dark red has faded to a red/pinkish-red and I have noticed little to no avoidance by fish. I run a floro leader 24-30″ in clear water and direct in stained/dirty water.

I have the HiVis yellow Power Pro on a couple Musky rods and a couple medium heavies for Pike/slop bass. No problems there either.

Back in the 80’s, the Trilene Solar XT HiVis green formula was a very soft durable mono. I used that in gin clear lakes and never had a problem with fish spooking. So I don’t shy away from the HiVis lines at all.

Thanks for the reply folks, I’m going to try it out.

I use the white fireline for ice fishing and the smoke or gray for summer fishing.

Quintin, are you using 8lb floro for all panfish, too?

Hi-vis yellow PP.I have the moss green that I never use.Too hard to see at night.Never had problems with it fishing the river,even when tied direct.

X2 on the hi vis yellow power pro. I’ve been using it for a couple years now and love it. I always tie direct.

I use my camera 90% of the time I am pan fishing. I tried the super lines tied directly to my tiny jig and they appeared to have a cable attached to them. They were VERY evident. I got some bites anyway as sunnies were pretty aggressive but didn’t dare try it on an off day when the bites are more subtle, so went to a light mono leader ever since.
