Favourite braid colour
Submitted by ctan1968 on Sun, 2013-07-28 15:35
Hi all,
Having never fished with any other colour except dark green (Fins) and pink (Bionic), I was wondering what peoples favourite colour is for bottom fishing.

Braid colour
Yes I have been told that as well Doooma, hence using pink Bionic when I was first introduced to braided lines.
I've scored a large spool of Fins Yellow and wondering your thoughts on it. Nothing I have come near to but some have used it on my boat.

Rainbow - really useful depth guaging as well
With colour changes every ten metres - and whilst red is indeed the first colour to disappear (to OUR eyes) it should be noted that to our eyes when diving it shows clearly as black - just how fish perceive though is an entirely different matter - there are lots of red fish out there is it sure as hell doesn't make them invisible - I would have thought green would be the best as there are heaps of weed filaments floating around so it wouldn't look out of place but that being said I swear by rainbow braid and do not care which colour I attach to the shock leader and perhaps that is more to the point - most people run mono or flouro shock leaders in any event
