Agreed, I am strictly talking about line color. I do appreciate everyone's responses though because I am learning about much more than I was asking for. Personally I will probably stick with the blue line I use because I can spot it easily, and see what it does. I'm most certainly going to try and mix up line color and experiment though and see if I can get different results.

I always thought that most line no matter what the color would be almost nearly impossible for the bass to see, but I guess I am wrong. I am really appreciating the answers!

I'm fairly new to fishing and I always have this question on my mind, does line color really matter? I usually fish with a fluorescent blue line out of personal preference, and I can spot it easily in the water. In one scenario I was in ultra clear water spotting a bass and throwing everything I had and every technique I knew at the bass, but he just wouldn't hit my bait, which got myself wondering if my color of my line effected the outcome. I mean I personally didn't think bass were THAT smart not to hit the bait just because of the line color, and I would really appreciate it if some of you guys cleared this up for me! Thanks and good luck on the water this year.

Losing a fish = Sitting in silence groaning.

Hey guys, I was just wondering where you are going to be going when the time comes around to go Bass Fishing in the Spring in New Hampshire and also what you are going to be throwing? I'm going to go straight to Wickwas lake in Laconia where I've hooked up to a few big ones in the shallows. Cheers!

Great article! This answered all my jig questions too! Thank you. Tight lines.

Hey guys, I'm rather new to this and I'm not sure if this is a topic already, but I thought I would give this a shot. I was fishing once in a nice sized pond in New Hampshire like a regularly do, but this time was different. The pond is very clear with a depth of around 40 feet, but weeds are visible at about 10 feet. I was kayak fishing the weeds when I got hung up on some brush. I casually paddled over to unhang myself. When my hand was in the water, I noticed a shadow coming up from the depths of the weeds and I quickly retracted my hand out of the water. A huge snapper came out of nowhere and bit through the top of my rod and took my lure and line to the bottom of the pond. If my hand was still in the water I believe without a doubt I would be missing a few fingers. I was wondering if anyone else has any similar or scary fishing stories?
