Does line colour matter to fish or just to anglers?
Back in the 70’s I used a heavy black fishing line for carp and pike fishing, I think it was made by Sylcast. Even I could see this line in clear water.
Recently trying out a yellow braid for lure fishing neither of the colours have made any difference to my fishing I still caught and catch fish. Have also used red lines with the same results.
So are anglers more worried about colour than the fish are? Sea anglers have used coloured lines for years.
