The age old question that very few ever agree on....

..what line color is best.
I hear the groans already!

To start, everyone should read this.

Now bottom line is confidence.
Bass do see color, no argument.
BUT do they or can they interpret danger or caution do to a color.
In other words, does it matter?

Most don't realize how quickly color changes with depth, clarity and sunshine.
Whats good on cloudy rainy days may not be the best for sunny and clear. What's good in three feet of water may not be best in deep.

Now I also feel these color differences have similar effect on lure color.
In other words, why we throw chartreuse and black and blues etc. but that should probably be it's own thread.

Personally I use fluoro or fluoro-coply.
That's where my CONFIDENCE is.
I use fluoro leaders on all braid plus blacken line on anything I don't use leader. Frogging.
Why, CONFIDENCE, simple as that. If I had past success on bright pink and orange with a touch of yellow, I'd be throwing that.

But I truly liked the above 'paste' cause it explains some of the 'whys'.

So today's questions,

What do you use?
Do you choose line by color or other characteristics like knot strength, abrasion resistance etc.
Would you use a different color if it had everything you wanted BUT color?
Do you use different lines for different techniques?
Now I think most know when braid is important or advantagest so does braid color make a difference to you.
Cameo, invisibraid or clear or green or whatever.

Anyone know of any MANUFACTURES PROOF or evidence that theirs is better or maybe 'less' visible. Cajun red may disappear in like 15-20 feet of water but is more apparent than almost ANY line in less than 10ft.
What do you think the 'red hook' fad came from?

As always, why you feel how you feel is GREATLY appreciated!
