What is the color of choice for braided lines? Your choice for clear water, stained water, etc.

Get Moss Green, or just green.

Red is no good, as it gets all over your gear, hands, etc....

Any color that won't wind up all over my hands is fine with me.

Yea stick with your basic green. Any other color will bleed all over your hands and equipment. I tried yellow last year on 1 rod...took it off within a week.

I really liked using Berkley Tracer Braid last year. 2-1/2' of green then 2-1/2' of hi-vis yellow. I gives a sort of camo appearence in the water and looks REALLY COOL during the cast - like you are shooting tracer bullets! No issue with the color coming off any more than normal green.

i used the spiderwire ultracast in yellow, green and invisibraid (white) last season with no problem with color bleeding with any of them. the fish didn't show me any negativity towards the brighter two colors so it's white or yellow for me on all rods this upcoming season since "I" can see it better than the green

I used Ultracast invisibraid last year and really liked it. I will be spooling up another reel with it this year.

I too really like the Ultracast Invisibraid. I think it comes down to what works for you. I'm not sure how much "Color" comes into play? I've used Cortlands Black Spot, & had no problems, other then I feel the line is on a little of the soft side. (If that makes sense). The two lines I'm using now is the Invisbraid & Cortlands Bronzeback (A firmer braid). You probably can't go wrong with any of the superlines around today. Alot of technology!! Once again it comes down to P.P.

I used green for several seasons and white last season and came to the following conclusion: Makes no difference in the number of fish caught


From a visibility standpoint, I have grown to like the white line because it is easier for me to see and manage slack. Some say it is harder for the fish to see when looking up against the bright sky. I like the invisibrade, but don't let the name fool you as it is about as white as white can be. It is not at all invisible.

I really like the Green Suffix Braid, seems to repel the water and seems to run higher in the water column when using it to Bulge Bucktails. Used one Entire season and still as round as as smooth as the day I put it on. It also seems to have a little better Casting ability than the other lines I have tried..... Jr.
