Line Colour

[gepsky]

What is the best line colour?

[FormerFishFarmer]

Floro.
It's completely clear.
Increases bite rate on various species.

Thank you so much, i'll try that

Just a note, thats line type, not color. Mono, Braid, and Fluoro being the types of line.
Mono is stretchy, which has its uses, Fluoro as noted if hard for fish to spot with some stretch, Braid doesnt stretch.
Another factor is buoyancy, Fluoro sinks faster than mono, Braid floats.

Ultimately, it depends on your intended fish and lure/bait choice.
Mono if you want some give for the fish to wear itself out more or reduce the shock of hitting the lure, though it makes it harder to feel the bites as well. Then you have Braid if you want full control over the fish and to help a lure run shallower. And as mentioned, Fluoro has its primary use as being practically invisible underwater. Doesnt matter for most fish, but there are a few that get spooked on seeing the line.

Really appreciate for the answer. So for example, Braid is very good for Walker. Am i correct?

As a general rule. There is also the option of a braided line with a fluoro leader so you have as little give as you can get, but with that small bonus of the last bit of the line being invisible.
Another useful thing to note is titanium leaders for pike and Gar, because they will bite through any other line and run off care free with your lure/bait.
Same idea as well for the mono leader, pair it with a braid main line for minimum stretch and max sensitivity minus the last couple feet/last meter that the fish can bounce around a little on, far less total stretch as opposed to the entire 100ft+ of line stretching and bouncing.

Of course as you figured, Braid for top water lures, Fluoro being perfect for bottom running lures.

Fluoro is essential for salmon and trout but not for other species, though you can just use it as a leader rather than a reel line. Problem with flouro is It wears out much quicker so be careful.
I'd recommend braid if your targeting big fish as you can get much more on your reel which is useful if they run a long way and might mean the difference between landing a fish and losing it. Mono is hard wearing.
Colour of braid doesn't seem to make much difference. I've had a lot of success with the red for example.

Line colour has no effect in the game from what I can see.

Best to use braid on most fish too.

Thanks guys really appreciate it. But idk why, i have problem with crankbait. Thats too hard even with fluoro and braid lines

It's not you, it's me been like that with cranks for ages. They don't display what type of retrieve you are doing and for some silly reason pop up to the surface for the last 7 m ( 21 ft) of the retrieve preventing the best part (for me) of using cranks, which was having something like a unique Chinook salmon smashing it at your feet. Last time I heard it was considered to be working as intended :(.

"Mono if you want some give for the fish to wear itself out more "

Are you sure about fatigue, I am not seeing this, and Iv'e seen the question go unanswered in other threads?

Well if its not actual fatigue but an actual timer, I could not say either way, but it works out effectively that the fish fights for so long then you get a chance to reel it in. Mono would still let it bounce around without pulling more line, though some fish thrash so much they actually have a great chance to drop the hook off with the bouncing.

hmmm...do all three have the same time limit?
