What color fishing line do you prefer for fishing on baitcasters? I will be fishing spinnerbaits and an occasional heavy tube jig. Right now i have green line and clear/flouresent blue which would you use. Thank you

Green.....

 

[h2o]

8lb. Smoke FireLine under 3/4 oz. ones

10lb. Smoke FireLine (heavier lure's) 3/4 oz. ones

But with what you have Green because it blends in with the green weeds in the back ground.

h2o<--says but of course right. (FireLine)

I was just waiting to hear that from the O2 man! Some things you can just count on!
Looks like the weekend winds will not be favourable to us jiggers.

You must know Miss Cleo lol.. Yes it's a good time to hit the rivers and channels on this week end when the winds pick up.

Spinnerbait-20 or 25 lb. green Trilene Big Game--if the fish are aggressive, biting spinnerbaits, and don't see that big wire, then they aren't going to pay any attention to line size. Plus, when a five pound smallie hits a fast moving spinnerbait, you better have stout line or it is likely to snap.

Heavy tube-rarely throw anything heavier than 1/4 oz. (talk to Mini for heavy tube jigs

) but almost always use 10 lb. clear line when throwing tubes. I want to see any little movement, and I can't see green line very well, but don't want to use a gaudy line either.

H2O,
This might sound sacreligious to you....but try some Power Pro.....much improved over the Fireline!!!

You know Ken i was lookin at it and the price was the most i've seen so that tells me it must be good i will try it. I hear it's real tough on the line guide's. Tears them up is that true.

I havent had a problem with the guides using PowerPro, but I dont use cheap rods either.
