Red line

[Fishtails]

Greetings fellow fisherman....I have a question for you:

Are many of you using red fishing line ?? I just bought a 3000 yd spool of 30lb red fishing line to spool all my reels. I read somewhere that at deeper depths it was virtually invisible. If this is true, is it still necessary to use a fluorocarbon leader, or would the red line suffice? I'm planing on still running fluoro leaders, but I was Just curious how you guys felt about this ?

Thanks,

Rod

I spooled up with the Shakespeare Cajun Advantage line this spring. It's hard to tell whether it helps or not. So far I like the line and knot strength seems good. You will get mixed opinions, but I decided to give it a try. It is also moderately priced. If nothing else, it looks kinda' sexy and is a conversation piece for those that have never heard of it.

Here's an article about the use of red line. It makes sence and It can't hurt so I'm giving it a whirl.

i believe the red line turns to black after so many feet. i tried this line in the salmon river and watched the fish move away from my line. i switch to maxima green to me makes a better difference i had lot move hook ups

Red lines are for tachs, not fishing line.

In these much clearer waters I'm sure that red shows red further into the light spectrum of the water. Anytime I use flourocarbon I usually have better success. I think that red would look black down deeper. just my thoughts. - Mick

Well, I'm gonna spool a few reels and compare. I'll run both for a couple weeks and see if I like it, or if there is an advantage or disadvantage. If you see me at the Oswego Pro-Am and all my reels are spooled red...I liked it . If not, you may be able to buy a couple thousand yards from me real cheap

As for using it in the Salmon river, I would not use in such shallow water. That's not what it's intended use is. I know this, It won't be any more visable than wire, copper or leadcore. I guess I'll see what the fishies think??

Thanks

I personally have never used the stuff therefore can't comment about Cajun line. I am currently happy with the line I am using(P-Line 30 lb test for salmon trolling) and (6lb,8lb,and 10lb fluro clear for walleye fishing). Although I would keep in mind at deeper depths red appears black under water. I am sure this would affect fish catching percentages, but to each their own. I found this web page. Check it out.
