Costs more money. Has to be better. Read the advertising. Watch the pros on You Tube.

I'm a braid/leader believer. Every rod, every reel, every technique. Tried all the big names. Not the overpriced [censored] that they want us to buy. but PP, 832, X5, X9, Spiderwire, and others. I started with Lynch Line a long time ago.

I buy what's on sale. If you stay away from the bargain basement junk, it's pretty much the same regardless of what the guys that get it free and get paid to tell you, say.

Right now, I'm buying Yo-Zuri. I like the yellow color. I'm 77 and have trouble seeing some of the others. I did see a bright green 832 at BPS last week that looked good. Problem is, I spool up maybe once a year so don't have much opportunity to experiment.

Regarding colors, does Hi Vis Yellow or Neon Green turn fish away?

I am looking for line for Surf fishing so, I was considering something I could see better with my casts. Would neon green or high vis yellow turn the fish away from my lures and bait?

Power pro or the Yo zuri are my go to. The big game stuff is good for the price as well. I like hi vis if I am using a leader but not if I'm tying directly to the lure. The cheaper braids like I and others have mentioned tend to bleed or lose color a bit over time so if I'm tying directly to the lure I will often color the last couple of feet of line with a black marker. I got to marshall at a BASS event for Casey Ashley and watched him do it. We talked a bit about it and he suggested it made a difference in how many bites he got flipping when he colored the line so I've been doing it since and I think it does make a difference once the line get's a bit faded and washed out looking.

Suffix 832 and Reaction Tackle 8X are my go to's.............the RT has really stepped up,I am impressed with the quality.
