Coloured line
[QUOTE=Bemoredog;3147464]Tried to get answers from the interwebs but not really having luck.
Just wondering if I can simplify my set up by using straight 20 lb fireline rather than 20 lb braid and ~10lb mono.
For icefishing if it's unclear.
Second question. Does it matter what colour the braided lines are? I've seen them in green, white, black and even neon orange. I'm mainly asking because the cheaper braided lines ($5 for 50 yds @20lb) always seem to be green or black in colour. I don't want to toss out $20 bucks for white braided line just for my tip ups.
Common sense seems to tell me using a coloured line might spook the fish, but with a 5 to 10 ft leader I'm not sure if it actually would.
Thanks fish bros.[/QUOTE
Colour shouldn't matter if presentation is good, but the more natural it looks the better, black, white or green has worked for me, mostly use black, but a 12-24" Flourocarbon leader 50lb or heavier may help.
