White, Black, & Brown for bass
Honestly the whole invisible braid thing is hype to me. White stands out more to me! I use braid for everything and love it but to make it invisible make it blend with the water. I hear of guys taking black sharpies and coloring the last 2 to three feet. Well try this lay two pieces of braid in the water one colored with a black sharpie and the other colored with a BROWN sharpie and see which one “blends” with the water the best. I guarantee you the brown will be harder to see. I don’t know that you will have the same results in gin clear water but you should get better results with brown for any water with some color to it. Honestly I feel black stands out more. Think of how many baits you have with black in them from the black dot on your shad crankbait to a completely black creature bait for flipping. Black and white are my stand out colors. I love my milky white cranks with some black on them whether it’s the black dot for shad or the little thin pattern lines in some of my other cranks. On some of my other cranks I fill in the eye completely with a sharpie to make it jet black and large. Look at the eye of an actually shad!

Black flies are great because they look like a silouhette of a baitfish or bug or whatever to a fish. They're great in low-light conditions, because the fish can't tell the difference between the fly and the real thing. I imagine that the same silouhette theory goes for braid too. BFK
