Thread: Colored Mono vs Clear

Is there a big difference in clear line vs colored line fishing for kings beyond being able to follow your line better? (which would help if I am setting up a rookie)
Does it matter to the fish?
I have also seen the two tone line that changes from black to color every two feet or so.
I wanted to check before I decide to re-spool.
J&M will probably be my first stop but wanted your thoughts ahead of time. I am from Chicago but to me shopping J&M is "shopping local".

I dont think the kings care one way or another.

I use hi-viz yellow. My problem isn't gettin fish to hit, but getting them on the deck :wall:

Saw a couple people hooking up with bright pink line.

Used to love me some pink Ande back in the day. Caught my 1st King on the stuff.

I've never seen main line color make much a difference. Your leader line is what the fish will encounter and either ignore or shy away from.

I've tried a lot of different colored lines, from what I've noticed fish don't care. Like VG said its the leader they care about. I use a flouro leader when speck trout fishing, that stuff is invisible in water and has no stretch which I like.
