Colored line

[PREDATOR]

As I understand it the color of your line may not be as simple as looking at it. For instance cajun line is red. The reason it is red is that red is the first color to disappear under the water. The spectrum expiriences different changes under the water, so what we look at above water may not be the same below. Who would think red line would be effective? Flourocarbon is not much clearer than monfilament lines, it just refracts light at the same index as water and so it doesnt create the outline of a fishing line as much as monofilaments or superlines. Those bright solar green lines may not be as bright and visible as you think under water. I dont know about them. One thing with fireline is the reduced diameter and increased strength. Its smaller size allows it to have less visibility even though it may be a dark color. Its an interesting topic, but one that has more science in it than many of us may realized. Next time you are at the tackle shop and see something that just makes you wonder why, or who came up with something so stupid, there may be more there than you realize.
