Thread: Line Color

I've read through previous posts, and I hate to beat a dead horse even more ... but how much does line color effect king bite. I saw an older post where pier#r had sad that he'd noticed fish turning away from the fluorescent lines at times. I'm curious about blue vs clear? Anyone have a preference? I feel like I can see the blue line in the wind better than the clear.

If I am not mistaken, John G uses blue; and that's what he just put on my new reel. Jus' sayin'

I'm from out of town ... so this John G guy, does he know much about fishing? Joking. John's helped me ALOT over the years. Good to know that's what yall are using, hard to argue with that logic. About to respool before my trip down next week, and was curious.

I don't see line color being an issue for King fishing given the fact you'll be using a leader attached to your main line.

I plan to respool with big game in bright green, mainly cause my eyes just cant see as well as they used to. Makes it hard to follow a bait when you cant see your line.

I use the fluorescent greenish yellow kinda colored Momoi Hi-Catch and I get bit just as well as the next guy. Line color doesn't matter with kings from the pier.

Dido on that...

I have used pretty much any color I find on sale, with one exception; that Cajun Red stuff. It is really hard to see and seems to be the favorite of those who like to cast as far as they can and then let it drift from one side of the Octi to the other!
When I miss a king, I don't blame it on line color, I think it is actually some other problem, LOL!

Y'all keep telling yourself that.
I'm sure the fish will agree at some point ;-) LOL

I hate trying to see that red line and any dark braid. Those may be great lines for individual purposes, but they suck when fishing with other people. I like the Momoi Diamond blue.
