Does line color matter? (SALTWATER)
Aug 27, 2021 12:24:07 #
I've had two saltwater poles for a couple years now and the line on them came with the poles so I decided to replace the line. A friend at work suggested I get this bright green line, I forget the brand name but he said it's what he uses and I'm just wondering like does line color really matter should I just stick to clear?
I've used it once so far, and normally I catch 5 or 6 fish but I just seem to not catch anything on that last trip and I was wondering if that neon green line had anything to do with it?

Not a yes or no question. Color of water, what type of fish or you trying to catch, day or night fishing, cloudy or brite sunlight, all these and more play a part of color.

I have blue, green and yellow on poles I use for fresh and salt water and catch fish equally with all poles. I do use leaders sized according to the species I am fishing for. Just my opinion.

With braid it really pays off to have something other than Moss Green when fishing in a crowd. Knots are MUCH easier to clear when you can figure out who's line is doing what. I love the high viz lines.
