    Pink or bright orange line

    Saw some different colors of braid online. Wondering if one of them is easier to see. Old eyes aren’t what they used to be. Saw someone on tv using pink thought I could see it pretty good

    Those are the two colors that offer high contrast in nature.

    I like yellow best. I’ve tried some of the other colors, but it I see yellow better.

    I have some bright green braid on my frog rod…. Makes sense to me sense the stuff I’m throwing the frog on is pretty bright green…

    but, I’ve been thinking about using it for my Texas rigs too.. the 16 flouro is getting kinda hard to see… I’m not a super big line watcher as most of my fishing is reaction bite stuff but once in a while I miss a few because I wasn’t watching my line..

    I had some red power pro a while back and liked it…. I can’t seem to find it anymore..

    I like pink and yellow. Under some lighting conditions the yellow is difficult for me to see so I color part of the spool red to have contrast and the alternating colors are easier to see for those conditions.

    I'd be cautious about dyeing mono or fluero as the chemicals could weaken the line. Perhaps not, or it might be just for fun fishing. I use some bright orange, some clear. Fish don't seem to care.
