Does Line Color Matter????

[dhaire]

I use high vis braid...with the new coatings, color doesn't come off, but the braid is hair thin anyway.
With a 3 inch smelly swimbait hooked to that strand of hair, I don't think the line worries them much!lol

What line is that? Thanks

Daiwa MoreThan12...Samurai Tackle just had a sale and I got good prices in it, or you can find it cheaper on Ebay sometimes.

I fish a lake that gets very clear in the summer months. A friend went fishing with me one day last summer and I had boated about a dozen fish and he hadn't got more than a nibble. We were fishing fallen trees with minnows under slip bobbers. The only difference in our setups was that I was using fluorocarbon (that I bought because it was in the clearance aisle) and he was using green line. He switched to one of my rods and immediately started catching fish. In that instance I feel like it made all the difference in the world.

I’ve had similar issues only reverse. There’s many days I’ve had friends out fishing with me while I’m using hi vis line and they’re using clear and I’ve outfished them tremendously. They changed lines and started catching fish. Now the only time I choose clear over hi vis is when I’m bluegill fishing shallow water. I’ve proven it to myself and others that those gills just don’t like the hi vis line attached to a bait. I have special reels lined with 3# clear that I change out when I’m going after gills. I always have some rods rigged with clear in my locker too but hi vis is my go to for crappies.

Well then, after reading this entire post ...... I have determined the defintive answer is "Maybe" followed by "It depends." It's clear as Mud now....
