Recently purchased some Crystal fireline. Until now i've been using the green and smoke.. Never had much luck with smoke for some reason. Anyway what colours do you prefer?.
Green
Smoke
Pink

Whats your colour choice in fireline?

I use 4lb green for tossing itty bitty lures. The main reason for this colour choice is because I can actually see it. My eye's are stuffed, I tried the smoke colour and could hardly see where the lures landed. I guess the pink would be easy to see, but the only downside is that it's, well.......pink, and you'll never get a hairy chest using pink fishing line
LOL.

Same for me.Green is quite visable for softies/lures.Comes into its own on dull overcast days.Use 4 lb green on softie trout gear and it works a treat.

Poor bugger, must be virtually hairless.LOL
ive found the green we've had has faded pretty quick, but the pink has kept its colour well, both get nice and soft imo but ive got some smoke on a reel now and its sh i t, pretty hard and gets knots plus you cant see it very weel.
im yet to get crystal but may try it if not ill invest in some stren
I use green & pink with no real favorite out of the two. I hate Crystal had bad batches in 2 & 4lb & i would never use it again...
I don't like fireline much but i have some 2lb crystal on a reel. it certainly casts well...bloody tricky to tie knots in tho'. as for colours......pink or green but don't smoke...it will give ya cancer
Pink all the way. High vis and easy to see. Fireline is fireline and it will fray and weaken with time.
Other than that my other reels have crystal; 3lb, 4lb, 8lb and 10lb. Makes up the bulk of what I use apart from Castway which is blue that I throw for Jacks.

I have had two bad batches of pink so I stay clear of it. I will probably stay with crystal now as my 8lb has done a huge amount of work on everthing from spotties to snapps and still looks like new.

8lb crystal rocks and the 4lb crystal, i started using is since it hit the shops and i think it is great. i had 2 bad lots of pink as well and2 lots of smoke. i started on the smoke on my abu back in darwin as a kid. it worked then but the crystal is so much better now than the old fireline use to be.
figjam :wink:
I thought the colour was more about how and when to use it, like lure colours...
As it was explained to me...the bright colours are for low light conditions when you need to be able to see the line...the clear and light colours for really clear water when you don't want to spook the fish...
Who knows...but there is no way I am rigging up pink line on my rod...and I am not going to start calling it "salmon" either to make it sound more "metrosexual"...lol
I'm pretty sure smoke is meant for clear waters. So i'm gathering the majority that use it are bay and offshore fisho's?
I use xds, but that's not an option up there...

Fishing for the thrill, not for the kill
i use the crystal mainly 14lbs but my spare spool is smoke 6lbs for the bream for some strange reason i cant get bream on plastics with the crystal but slay em on the smoke
off topic i know but for chuckin the metals of the stones i use the yellow from finns just for visibillty factor
