Braid colour, does it matter ???

[tropicrows]

This has properly been asked before, but does the colour of the braid or even mono matter and if so to what extent. :confused:

I normally go for greens or blues thinking it will be harder for the fish to see ???.

What about that red, yellow and pink stuff is that so, I can see it with my failing eyesight ! :-/

Hey Bruce, ask Tim about the pink braid.

I don't think it matters. I think someone did a poll not long ago on braid colour.

I don't think colour is too much of an issue if you use the right leader. Bright colours definately help visability in low light though

[Horse]

I think the leader solves the problem but I could be wrong

[wags on the water]

I use coloured braid on the jigging rod and it doesn't make any difference.

I havent tried Crystal but im keen to give it a spool on my new baitcaster.

if ur fishing deep water it doesnt matter as most colours vanish after 10m or so.
though if u fish the rivers bright lines can put the fish of if there finiky or its clear, therfore u either have to use a very long leader (up to 4m) or just go to fluro straight through, (this is looking from many many hours of breamin)

[WyldFisher]

I generally just use natural colours but as long as my leader is invisible from the fish then I'm happy.

[Mac_Attack]

I usually go for the natural colours when luring with hardbodie floats otherwise you see the entire line all the way to the lure itself.

Wags,
I know what Tim thinks about the pick Braid, I can still remember what he said after the bust off. I think yellow might be the go.

I dont feel that colour means a great deal in general fishing applications.
A more natural colour may have its advantages in some conditions but the leader should be the stealthy part of the line not the braid.
I do like hi vis colours ( yellow)on overcast days using softies as you can pick up on any line movement easily.(bit like wet fly)
