Color Vs. Clear Fluorocarbon

[bassboogieman]

Bassboss - PROOF? From Tackle Tours Test, I'm not sold the results of Segoi having a lower "breaking strength" is due to the tint. While possible, other factors may be the major contributor to it's lower breaking strength like it being a thinner, softer version of Segoi's clear.

Yamamoto Sugoi Fluorocarbon line is one of the highest rated fluorocarbon lines on the market. Probably the most widely used line on the west coast, Sugoi is manufactuered in Japan by Toray, one of the leading line companies in the world. Sugoi Fluorocarbon is available in a clear version, which is great for all applications that need extreme abbrasion resistance such as flippin, pitchin, throwin jigs, and dropshot. It is also available in a grey version that is slightly thinner and softer, and designed for casting jigs, worms, and shakey heads. The grey line also makes a great fluorocarbon for reaction baits.

Whatever the reason may be, I would much rather a line be rated as close to possible to it break point. As long as it meets the test rating on the spool, I'm happy and would look next at the line's diameter in choosing my line. I prefer a tinted line (green) as opposed to clear, My home waters are virtually all stained and I just prefer the green over clear.
And for all you Yo-Zuri haters - I love the line, especially the UltraSoft. And I have the pink stuff too. HA!
