Spiderwire Stealth braid, Moss Green, help

Featured Replies

Ok just got some Moss Green Spiderwire Stealth Braid from a tournament and im gonna use it on the 22nd for another tournament at Lake Jackson, FL. And so I want the 30 pound braid, ok so I put it in my clear pool and that stuff did not try to hide AT ALL. And my dad said that Lake Jackson was pretty clear. So I was wondering if I should go back to monofilament?

EDIT: or should I just put on a Monofilament leader?

Bass can see almost any line. But they have no idea what it's about. So, that factor is just not terribly important. I know guys that use fluorescent braid with no leader, and don't notice a catch difference. It's the major properties of each line type that anglers are most interested in:

What braid offers is low stretch for sensitivity and hookset power. It also floats. If you've never used it before, like anything else it takes some getting used to. Many people hate it, at first. Beware of small loops or tangles -they can get nasty quick. It also billows around in the wind, which can be a hassle.

What mono offers is stretch, flotation 'til it gets soaked then it's neutrally buoyant. More abrasion resistant than braid around hard cover like rock. It can also cut it's way into soaked wood cover.

Fluorocarbon sinks, and it's density allows it to buck wind a bit better. Those are its main, and maybe only, advantages.

Hope this helps you in your decision.

I use stealth moss green almost exclusively, all the water i fish is pretty clear, and i never felt that having a visible line restricted me from getting any bites. I even sight fish with it and do just fine.

If it worries  you, add a leader using a double-uni knot.  FWIW, Berkley used to make a "Solar XT" that they sent me a sample of.  It was louder than a KISS concert ;D  I fished tube jigs on that in Lake Erie for smallies and it bothered them not one bit so I doubt moss green will bother the fish much.
