Best color of Braided line

I am just getting into fishing and have been watching You Tube videos on bass fishing and trout / pan-fish fishing. I understand the one of the benefits of using braid is that it floats and helps make the line more visible. My question to the group is which of the Hi-Vis colors do folks find to be MOST VISIBLE.

I see Orange, Red and Yellow to be available.

I see more Hi Vis Yellow than any other. I guess which ever color you like/see best. Or which ever is the cheapest.

Have to agree, yellow seems like it has highest visibility!

Yellow for sure... Why? If your fly fishing or using a spinner you can see when to mend the line, if you are trolling you can see your spread of lines behind the boat.

White is now available. I have read that it is more visible than yellow when wearing glasses. I read a few publications of tests under various conditions. White came out on top under the most light variations. I am currently using Suffix 832 in neon green on most of my rigs. It is actually a lime color. I switched to it from power Pro. I really like the way it handles and it does not fade like Power Pro. It is also very visible.

I am open to others opinions about 832

Regardless of the color of my braid I use a minimum of 6 ft of fluorocarbon leader. P Line fluroclear has been very good for me.

That is only for casting right, not trolling?

Hello Ben. I ordered 2 spools of yellow & 1 spool of blue Yozuri for my trip to Sturgeon Bay in September. I'm having eye surgery for new lens on the 29th of this month so I needed a little help seeing my line. After I had the line on my reels & found the Yozuri cast about like my favorite, Power Pro, I tried it out in our local lake Tenkiller. It's just a very deep

After I had the line on my reels & found the Yozuri cast about like my favorite, Power Pro, I tried it out in our local lake Tenkiller. It's a very deep & clear lake & I caught SM on both colors. I still have the line on 3 baitcasters & now I have no problems with the colors. I do use a fluro leader. I use braid (10 lb) with a leader for crappie fishing from the docks in winter. I use mist green power pro & have no line memory problems in the cold water. Tight lines.
