Location: Scandia MN | Looking to re-spool and while sorting through the options I've learned that white line seems to be catching on. I had never heard of that before and was wondering if anybody out there uses it and what they think. |

Location: Wisconsin | I have the suffix 832 in white and have had no issues. I use fireline crystal for all my walleye jigging rods and have seen no issues with it. Fluorocarbon leaders and you are good to go. |

| What color do muskies see looking up into the sky and/or clouds? Usually shades of grey,light blue, or white. So if you want the maximum camo of your line, white would be the color. Just as if you want maximum contrast to see your bait, black has been the go to color. |

Used this line for many moons. |

| I've also wanted to try some white line, but I like to use 100# for most things, and I haven't been able to find any white line stronger than 80#. Is there 100# white available out there anywhere? |

Location: Eastern Ontario | Used white dacron years ago no issues. Don't believe muskies are line shy and your going to use a leader. it will probably be grunge gray before long. I have used white, white with green fleck, yellow, red, black, brown and green as well as clear mono over the years and the only difference was the mono felt like fishing with a rubber band |

Location: Minnesota: where it's tough to be a sportsfan! | There are several different colors of lines out. Normally I say it really doesn't make too much difference. I hold that position until a big girl turns away rather than eats...had to be the line color!! I fished with a guy that had different colors for each of his rods, which were all the same. The colors is how he could tell his rod actions apart at a glance. I liked that idea. |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | I personally prefer white or blue. I love the ability to easily follow a light color line from rod tip to to lure in a split second.
Line color doesn't matter to the fish at all IMO. Does line color matter to the fish when looking up at the lure from below? Unlikely since all braid is opaque and will cast a shadow. If you want to think of it in terms of how nature uses camouflage then consider that fish are white on the underside, there's a reason they don't have green bellies... |

I never looked at it that way and it makes perfect sense. All of my white lures will be for sale tomorrow. Lol |

| I prefer to spool my reels with whatever color line I like to see bleeding all over my hands for the first day. It all fades to the same light color anyway. I don't believe line color means anything to the fish. I've tried the greens and browns and actually prefer faded out line because it's easier for ME to see. Sometimes when working certain baits, there are times where a fish hits your lure on the pause. Until you reel up the slack line, your only clue that it has happened is that you actually see the line jump sideways.
