High Vis or Smoke/Crystal

[Yak_Hak]

Hi guys, looking to spool up my new caldia 2004 with some 2-4p braid and was just wondering what the general consensus was re Hi-Vis colours vs Low-vis (black, white etc), pros and cons etc...

I'm keen to see some of the opinions to this too.

i have both and i guess i really have no preference. but i to am interested to see what other people say on this

[monty_36]

Definetly white, much higher hookup rate

[fishbutler]

I have tried pretty much every color braid there is an can honestly say I have not noticed it deterring fishing at all, the bright colors are more for the anglers being able to watch for takes or hits

[Breamobsession]

I use bright colours for placcies just to make it a lot easier to see those ticks in the line. I usually run a fairly long leader anyway so can't say i have really noticed any difference at all.

[twitchtwitch...]

+1 for bright!
Normally just up the leader length if fish seem timid

[MattGeyer91]

I agree, longer leader should eliminate any line spooks

[redrocket]

I prefer white but I tend to fuss to much over little things and line color is probably one of them
I have just spooled a reel with blue and am undecided yet, lived the line but was hard to see in low light. I have just purchased some brighter lines to compare against the white.

For lure fishing I would stay away from the smoke (black) colour.
As for hi viz or white, I don't notice a lot of difference really.

Appreciate the feed back, thanks gents.

Think I'll go high-vis (orange), see the bumps, doesn't get as dirty as the white, and looks awesome!

What u guys recon abt using moss green?
It's close to black therefor no good??

[Green Hornet]

I reckon for anything but slowrolling hardbodies you need to be able to see your line clearly to watch for those small flicks when a fish picks at the lure on slack line.
Your line is fine for slowrolling but I do prefer flourocarbon for this

Im using that colour, and on overcast day it is very hard to see above the water.
