Reply With QuoteI have used the suffix neon tangerine line for years.
My eyes can see the orange better than the yellow.
Fish could care less so I tie directly to the jig.
Of this I am sure.

Glad you like it, because I can't see it in low light conditions. I'll get to see it under the lights soon and it may standout good in which I'm hoping for. Delbert said he had a hard time seeing it farther out at the tip of the long rods going to the water. 12 footers and down to 8 foot rods. Had three with High Vis Yellow and four with Tangerine Orange. Remember Saturday was all dark clouds for us. So our visibility was not in the best conditions. I will leave it on for a while to get a bright sunny day effect on the line before I change it out. If it don't work out for me, I got you a spool of Tangerine orange!

Orange is easier to see in sunny conditions, yellow in cloudy. Both are obviously way better than clear, low-viz green, or blue. Thats my experiences at least!

Dawg, do you think the more orange line you was looking at to begin with woulda been better than what you tried? I'd still like getting some line I could see better than the traditional Hi-Vis yellow for my long rods. Thanks for sharing your report on that line.
I think there's a REAL greenish green line out there somewhere to try too?!?

I don't know. I gave ofishlbizzness a spool and he said he took it off because of the same reason I stated. I can only say it was dark over cast and that may be the reason. The water was stained greenish color and not a good back ground to start with. I'll give it one more shot day time and one at night to see if their is a big difference. You may be on to something better with the green neon. I know I'm going blind and need glasses but something has to show up better!Originally Posted by gabowman

Ron why not try half your rods with a leader and half tied directly to the line.
To be a valid test each set would need to have identical jigs to the other so you know the jig wasn't why they hit or not.
Lots of folks don't think the color matters.

Ray, the bite is not the problem. I can't see the line above the water line! I thought by splicing it would make it better but I went direct to the jig. We caught fish just as many on the hi vis yellow as we did with the orange. It is just tough to see on cloudy day at the rod tips and back at the water line to keep them separated when turning. It is probably just my old eyes needing glasses.

Or go with 50 ft of orange leader,Ray, the bite is not the problem. I can't see the line above the water line! I thought by splicing it would make it better but I went direct to the jig.

then
Tie in 15 ft of yellow, for the visible line on the rod and from the rod to the water
then
Go with full orange on the spool!
Best of both worlds
