Does Line Color Matter????

I wish someone that has a lot of confidence in high vis line that also uses 1/16 or 1/8 oz. jigs will come to Bay Springs and teach me something . lol

I'm on my way......

What state is Bay Springs in?

I have used Nan-o-fil, 4# test in Clear Mist ever since it came out. Love it. The line is white but seems to disappear in the water. I used to use Trilene clear, 4#test before. Haven't noticed any difference it catch rate.

Hi-Viz line scares crappie in the waters I fish...………. scared 25 into my livewell last time I went.

Thanks for all the replies. I for the most part do not think it makes a difference except in certain unique situations, but I have a friend that believes it make all the difference in the world if they can see the line. I just wanted others perspectives.

I spent 45 plus years in northern Wisconsin and did a lot of ice fishing. 2 and 4 pound line was the norm for pan fish. Using a dark house you could watch fish down to 10 too 15 feet on some lakes. i have seen bluegill , bass and crappie follow the line down and eat a jig , never seem to bother them. even on a cold front it was more the size of the bait more than anything.

I have to agree with you on this. I had many’s a monster day creek fishing when the water clarity was pretty darn good. I’m happy with that as my old eyes need the higher viz for sure.

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

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 made the switch to Hi Vis last week. I don’t believe it affected my catch rate at all. Water had 3ft of visibility. I did buy a 330yd spool of suffix clear to keep in the tackle bag, in case it ever seems to matter.
