Thread: Whats your colour choice in fireline?

    Re: Whats your colour choice in fireline?

    Ive had bad spools in all the colours. I still think it is the best line for light spinning work. I use crystal for my 1,2,3lb Green for my 4lb spools and pink for my 6lb. Will never use fireline over 8lb as its too thick for spinning reels and there are alot better options out there.

    Cheers Whytey

    I use crystal because i can buy a spool and know it will tie a leader, other fireline you can buy new and it will pop like cotton when you tie a leader so its 8lb crystal for snapps and 4lb for estuary fish.

    Crystal......for some reason it doesn't seem to 'loop' off the reel like the other firelines.

    Crystal for me too, i like the look of it and i also like the lower breaking strains that are available with it, particularly 3lb for sp's in the dam for bass

    does having different coloured line effect fish biting? like are they less likey to bite on pink line when apposed to green or is it more for the angler to see where his line is?

    For me i like to be able too see my line so i prefer bright colours.I dont think the colour effects th fish as you should use a Mono or Fluero leader anyway.
    I prefer the lighter lines thats why i use Crystal in 1,2 and 3 lb.

    I've read a lot about the different underwater colour spectrums that fish see in, or don't see in. How red disappears at a certain depth etc.
    Every line maker claims that there colour is the best at doing this .
    Still not convinced so I use a long flurocarbon leader just to be sure.

    Most of mine have smoke with one or two having green. Didn't even know there was a difference in quality between the colors, I haven't had any dramas with either.

    Started out using smoke fishing the reefs off the goldie. Worked well. Now i fish the bay with plastics (very shallow). I dont really think it matters what colour I use as i use a leader of about 4-5 metres anyway. ???

    I use green and smoke, seemed to do better with the green, not real sure why, just nice and easy for me to see i think, eyes arent as good as they use to be!

    I never thought that I would visit an Australian fishing chat room and encounter quotes from Oscar Wilde. That sort of thing only happens late at night on bass comps when the full malt is produced.
    4lb crystal will out fish smoke anytime in my experience, Your leader can be shorter or you can be put it right to the snap. My favourite option.
    It didn't worry the 57cm wild bass I landed last week.

    I have pink because it was on sale when I went to the tackle shop
