I had a friend tell me red line disappears in 6 foot of water and he tested it in his pool. I said BS show me and I'll believe. Needless to say, at the bottom of an 8ft pool you can still see the red line just fine

Had to look it up, these are the depths at which the colors fade, the whole Roy G Biv thing and all

Red - 15ft
Orange - 25ft
Yellow - 35-45ft
Green - 70-75ft

Try line butter on your line about every three trips and you will see a difference. It works like no other.

Default thanks to all

Bought a large spool of Berkley Big Game today and also a small spool of Berkley 100% flourocarbon just for kicks. I use the larger flouro for mangroves, never thought of using the smaller test for specks and reds. Great forum. Thanks to all who responded, but it appears that Big Game is the "go to" line according to those who responded.

All my reels are power pro 30, 40, or 50 lb. I have used Berkley 100% fluorocarbon (main line) for leaders, and it works fine. I've taken a liking to Ande fluorocarbon for leader material, so that's probably what I'll buy from now on.

It's taken me awhile to warm up to flourocarbon but I'm sold Berkeley 100% in 15 is "the business"for deep jigging,much better direct contact with your lure,It's ridiculous the fish I would miss fishing deep with mono.

most everything, except the last post by cap Brian is old school stuff. I have been hearing and reading about lots of good new stuff. Nobody has tried any? I have been using big game 30 and triple fish 15 camo. I have bulk spools of both. One report from a friend of mine, Mark B., that is a skeeter team bass fisherman, he went trout fishing with a guide. they were catching good, and Mark had to retie his mono often. he noticed the guide was not retying. he asked him about it and he said yea, i used to have to retie all the time like you are doing. I switched to fluorocarbon a year or so ago and hardly ever have to retie because it is so much more abrasion resistant. Another friend has switched to a copolyomer line and he says it is the bomb. waiting on a text from him of the name. He catches more specks than anybody but the guides and only because he doesn't go everyday. Y'all know his camp, it is the one on the weir on south end of BL.

The co-polymer line is Gamma.

Default line to try

I fish with power pro for awhile and was like you not completely satisfied. I have recently tried the power pro super 8 slick 30 lb. I love this line. it is a smoother cast and line and gets better as you use it. give it a shot and let me know what you think.
