Red line Blue line Green line Grey, does it really make a difference?

Everyone can catch fish on all these different colored lines, does the line color even make a difference?

I am going Elk hunting in a National Forest in Idaho. Do I need to check in somewhere before I start hunting?

Here we go on this topic, a good one. Red is indeed the first color to disappear underwater --- HOWEVER --- the colors on the spectrum will all disappear as the presence of light disappears. The less light, the more the colors start disappearing. If you're fishing at incredible depths of water where it is actually dark because the light of the sun has been spread out so much through the water it is virtually non existent, then yes, go for red line. But, since most of us bass fishermen don't deal w/ that, I think the best thing to do is match the line w/ the type of water you'll be fishing in.

When I know I'm going out after a hard rain and the water is going to be muddy, I'll use the gold colored P-line.

When I'm going to be in a body of water that has a high presence of algea which gives it a murky green tint, I'll use a green colored line.

If the water is going to be crystal clear, I'll use a clear line with the best ratio of strength/low diameter (usually spiderwire supermono).


One more thing that I like to say when this topic airs - I bet that half the people who say red disappears the quickest and therefore use a red line have a blood red bait on the other end of the line?


If red disappears so quickly, why are they sucked into the "Red triggers strikes" mentality? Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose? If the line supposedly disappears, doesn't the red on the bait that triggers strikes?

Whats the best gun to carry around for self-defense?..?

yes i think so
red is the first color to be dispersed in water
so it "disappeares" soonest
for that i recommend Cajun line
if that doesn't matter to you then try to find really thin but strong line
in which case i recommend spider wire

tight lines and good fishing
