Hey guys. I was wondering if braid col

Hey guys I was wondering if braid color makes a differents. I just changed from moss green to high vis white so I could see it better what fishing. Does anyone know if white stick out like a sore thumb under the water?

Thanks

If you can see it better, so can the fish. It probably isn't that big a deal for stained water but i don't know if I would use it in clear water. I've always been told green in clear water.

Thanks junkyard. Can anyone else put there 2 cents in about this?

Take a sharpie, pick your poison color wise, and color a few feet at the end to make that part closer to your original moss green.

Good tip hillbilly. Thanks.

x2 on the Sharpie tip.

I've seen Big-O "tiger stripe" the braid with a Sharpie.

X3 on the sharpie. I use Hi-Vis Yellow and always do this to the first 10' or so.

when my braid is green, I use the sharpie in intervals up the line....it breaks up the color so there isn't a solid green or black color, it blends really nicely into the weeds/shadows.

with white braid....get a green sharpie I think would work best. Turn it all green.

I believe it does I have saw one instance when guy using straight braid was not getting a bite and other guy using mono leader was catching fish with the same lure. Then when first guy put on a leader he started catching fish. I dont know that it always matters, but it seems to me that some fish are effected by it. This being the case I always use a leader.

Slice a groove into the tip of a fat tip green permanent marker, and it'll make the job quicker. Even green braid needs to be colored up occasionally if it's heavily used.

Cool guys thanks. I didn't know so many people did this. All I got is a black sharpie so I'll make that work for my hi vis white braid.

I'm with B@ss Crzy here. I started using braid after a windy spring on my spinning rigs and love it. No more twist problems. I always use a six to ten foot leader, YoZuri Hybrid 12 pound test just because I have it for my casting rigs. I tie it with a simple uni to uni knot and have had no problems with break offs -- except when I'm hung and have to break it off. I vote to go with a leader.
