Thanks satdoc, I'm happy with mono right now. Just was curious what colors were used, cray said he got red from Academy and likes it so far. I wonder why Academy doesn't stock any hi viz line in mono or braid, must not be a big seller... dunno.

Powerpro super slick and suffix 832 use same technology of more fibers and tighter braid to make it smoother. Get different colors to make untangling bearable.

What is this tug of war you speak of?????????

Snubbys, I like the Red because it's a color I can see better. I have fished every color line you can buy over the years. Red, green, white, high vis yellow, purple, blue, orange, stream gold. It's just my eyes because when spider rigging I can see the darker color's better than the floro. In dragging cranks I don't watch the line at all. Planners and rod tips. I like braid because you can get a lot higher lb test with the same diameter as the light weight mono. Less resistance going through the water. Once in a while you can find the yellow power pro at academy but not often. But you can't buy it at bass pro either so I would say it's because of sales numbers. Bass guys don't use much colored line and that's where most of their tackle is marketed.

Reese its a name brand of braid a lot of catfisherman use it ..TUG O WAR.

Kast King is a good option as well, 40 bucks for 11 yards is hard to beat.
As far as it being magic, it's not but I pull through whatever I want, if there is a 40 foot opening I am going (tip to tip space on my long rods) without hesitation, I retrieve more hung up baits than before and rarely lose a bait. I cut down on how many of one color I keep on hand due to this and in the long runs saves me a ton of money.

Thanks cray, I guess it's what works best for each individual. I have a friend who is color blind and can't see any color line really. I like to be able to see my line at the water when making turns and I monitor my rod tips to pickup any debris on my crankbaits. Just a small blade of grass or a tiny leaf is noticeable with the pst rods. I've even picked up on algae or slime build up on the knot. Guess before I commented, I should have inquired what type of fishing OP intended to do. I can use any color for spider rigging, but love hi viz for single poling and pulling.
