I'm a huge fan of Power Pro's braid (green), but lately I've been interested in the red. I like switching things up every now & then. Some reviews say it's great and some say the red dye bleeds and drips a lot, etc. Curious if you guys have any other input. I tend to not trust certain bad reviews for some reason

I would just ask why red? It's pretty close to green I think on the color spectrum. For example I'm red and green color blind. That said I really like using yellow and have not had single problem with it bleeding. Only fading over time and becoming dis colored from murky water.

The red doesn't bleed in drips, you might get a tad on your fingers when you put tension on it to spool your reel but it has never "dripped" red. Maybe they weren't careful and cut their finger on their line which made the line look as if it were really bleeding, which would be weird. 

I just like switching it up after so long. Also I've used red mono and thought it was great so I was going to test its luck on braid

Thank you sir. I'll give it a shot then! And yeah that'd be v weird

I use it with a FC leader, no issues other than normal fading. Just got it cause it was on clearance and the bait monkey was in the aisle. Lol

I use red braid mainline, it's great! Shows up good and it looks cool.

First time or 2 using red it does seem to stain your fingers a bit more than other colors, nothing I would classify as serious.

mine didn't bleed at all!

All braid bleeds and fades, anyone that tells you otherwise is full of it.  KVD L&L slows this process quite well.  I don't like red line just because it's hard for me to see.  I prefer bright yellow or white, though I use quite a bit of green for times I don't need to line watch.

I got some 20# red PP because it was on sale and I put it on one of my reels because it matches. It catches fish just like green.

Thanks for the insight guys, helped a lot. Can't imagine it'd bleed any more or worse than regular green but you never know, figured I'd check before I spent 20 bones. Cheers

I've used red power pro on some of my reels.  It will fade just like moss green will.  It's the end result that I don't like.  The red seems to fade to a pinkish color, with a little white in it.   Too me, that is fairly visible.  The green fades as well, but it turns to a lighter green, which seems to not be as visible as the former.
