smoke or flame ?

[Brody]

Hi,

i'm getting my 2nd spool of fireline as my first is chafed and not casting as well as it should. I am going to stick with 6 pound as i some times use it for herring skippy and whiting in our boat.
should i get flame green because of the visibility qualities or smoke.

Also does the flame scare the fish off at all


thanks

HI Brody

I don't think the colour matters much as long as U have a length of mono/flouro trace. Fish don't get put off bright lines that easily.
Unlee is 50lb pink braid straight to the lure. Then the fish is going to wonder why it has a leash on it. Hehehe

i was wondering because its very hard to see to see the smoke, which i think is a big disadvantage if a fish hits your lure on the drop. At least you can see the flame if a fish hits the lure.

I use both the smoke and yellow colour. There seemed to be no difference. But if U use lighter trace, say 4lb there's more hits than 8lb as the "leash" is less obvious.

I would definately get the Yellow Fireline. You can see the line twitch easier when the fish hit the lure on the drop!
Also, use as light a leader as you can. Fluorocarbon is a huge advantage. When the fish are shut down, you need to use light lines and the right lures to get the fish!

2 reasons I'll be staying with the yellow is for visability with plastics and that I find that the yellow actually fluffs up less than the smoke.

HTH.

that's coz the fluffs are less visible against a bright line, hence why the smoke fulffs up easier.

i'm actually changing to platapus super braid it tends to have not so much memory like the fireline.
should cast better also no throwing so many loops.

also i use 6lb out chasing herring and KGW.
hi-vis in the snags and smoke in the open waters.

smoke or flame

i say grilled and definitely not fried!

I use both and don't see much difference, only that I use smoke in 4 lb and yellow in 6 lb (so I can tell them apart)
