I use white braid a lot. I just color the last 5-6' of the line with a black sharpie and it hasnt affected my catch rate with bottom contact baits.
Interesting. I'll try that. Thanks. I kinda like the white braid, because it is definitely easier to see. But, I just didn't get as many bites with slow moving baits like soft plastics.
Use a black sharpie on the first two feet of braid in front of the hook.
I just thought about it. Isn't green Sharpie better than black?
Nope, remember the base is bright white, and a sharpie fades quickly on braid. The black fades to a medium gray. In the 10# X9 braid, I can barely see it underwater right at my feet with polarized glasses. It virtually dissappears.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Then, why do many companies sell green braids, and call them "Lov Vis"?
