Thread: Orange line with a leader for longlining?

I will put it on four of my long rods. Mostly on the long one's on the out side edge. I can see if the lines will cross on my turns. The other day it didn't matter how long of a turn something was bound to cross with the wind as bad as it was. My middle rods have yellow line so maybe that will blend out to be okay! I will put on as much needed to refill the spools with a base filler on my regular line. Or I'll use tape to partially fill the spool. I may even put some on my tight line rods off the front close to the TM. I ordered the suffix 6 pound test Tangerine line Joe mentioned from VanDam Warehouse. 4 / 330 yds. $31.96 plus shipping. Hope it works out for a blind man.

I don't know why you didn't catch more than one crappie longlining. Maybe your Captain short lined out the back! He must have been tangle shy!

Way cheaper to get orange sun glasses and clear line.

Those orange glasses would fit my image greatly! The result on my experience with orange line is that it ain't worth a toot! It is not very visible on a cloudy day. Wearing sun glasses you can forget it! It may be on a bright sunny day if you are higher than the line and looking down on it, or with a lights at night time. I will use it on the next nightstalk to see what it does with the light reflection and tell you the results from that. But day time it's less than the high vis yellow.
Hey it is pretty on the reel though!

Got to look like a pro to be a pro!

Brett, if I get those glasses, I'd still need to look like a pro! Got any books out on how to look pro?

I use the orange line and love it !!!
