Guys, I have 2 spools of 12lb. 1150 yards Cajun Red Cast Monofilament. What fishing applications would you use red line for? I T/R worms and creatures, deadstick, jerkbait, frog, topwater, crankbait. I just don't know way you would use red line.

Thanks

Bought 1 spool of Cajun line and it was so stiff & wirey that I now only use it as backing for good line.

There are, or were, three different kinds of Cajun Red - "Cast," "Lightning" and the co-poly stuff. Cast is considered by many that use it a very good mono. Just about everyone hated Lightning. The co-poly stuff was good, tough line, but had memory problems.

Red line is supposed to be less visible the deeper it goes.  Use it for anyway you want, but that's how it's marketed.  

The fundamental reason for using red line is that the color red only holds its color down to about 10 feet depth (ok, might be a little more or less).  So the line companies came out with red line and advertised that it disappears at depth.  The fact is that it does not disappear, but it looks black, which doesn't sound like all that much "stealth" to me.

But I've not tried it, so really have no personal data.  I think it is a marketing gimmick, however.

It could possibly advantageous where you need a line to be visible above the water.

Whether it casts and handles well and holds knots are all independent of the color and depend on the basic quality of the line.
