Red Braid Line
Red Braid Line
I just picked up 30 lb and 40 lb PowerPro Vermillion red line off of the clearance section @ Dicks.
I've been using Green PowerPro without leader for Senko with great success and was wondering if switching to red would affect the catch rate. Anyone here have experience with red colored braid line?

Re: Red Braid Line
I also use red braid, but I use a leader. Still catches fish...
Re: Red Braid Line
I had too many break offs upon hooksets when using fluoro or mono leaders. Maybe I am setting the hook too aggressively, or have the drag set too tight. Or maybe my uni-to-uni knot technique sucks...
Re: Red Braid Line
What size leader do you use?
Re: Red Braid Line
I have tried 10 lb P-Line CX and 12 lb Spiderwire fluoro. Both snapped during hookset with Senko.
Main line was 30 lb PowerPro.
I have tried Uni-to-Uni knot and also modified Albright knot with no success.
I ended up buying a chisel tip black Sharpie and painted about 3 feet of my yellow braid line.

Re: Red Braid Line
I don't mind it I find the colour comes out alot faster for me, but I do like the hi-vis braids for ripping traps through the grass.
Re: Red Braid Line
do you guys tie color braids directly to lures? i havent tried that before...
