Do you think colors on leadcore are a deterrent to the fish, especially if a long flouro leader?
-
Appreciate all of your preferences but would like to know if there is any science behind the favorite choices. Any proof that the Stealthcore colors of black and red provide more stealth or the micro core thinner diameter does the same? Or does it really matter what brand used if the flouro leader provides 40 feet of stealth. I'm really wondering if that's the case........

In need of some.leadcore line replacement so asking for thoughts on different brands, sizes. Been using Suffix 27lb since starting with cores and no real complaints. Does their 832 Advanced have advantages? Are other brands all about the same or do certain ones really provide more stealth and if so, does it really matter if running a 40-50 foot leader. Appreciate any dialogue offered.

Absolutely! Give em options, and if just after Silvers but you're catching Lakers, come up 10-15 feet

Some 15 years ago when I asked the same question several "Old Salts" on this site talked about having ball depth and leader length adding to 100. So if ball down 35, leader is 65, if ball down 90, leader is 10. It seems to have worked for me except when I drop the ball down to 110. Still haven't figured out leader length for that one yet.

Sounds like a great first trip! I'm betting that out over 80 plus fow the 3 color screamer was your silver fish for the day. As the water warms a significant disparity seems to develop and by Thermocline time in mid-July the Silvers tend to consistently be higher in the column and the Lakers deeper. Depending on where you marked fish sometimes directly determines best areas for spoon and Dipsey placement. Early morning and late day they may prowl along the whole column, but with a high sun, many go near the bottom by 9-10 am. Don't be afraid to drop a rigger with spoon and a Dipsey with flasher/fly inches from the bottom and hang on when they fire. Midday monsters often like the bottom and only get excited if you dangle a morsel right in front of them. Best of luck and keep us posted on future trips!!
