PowerPro Braided line for Catfishing…..?
This past season I made the switch from mono line to braided lines. I used Spiderwire camo braid in a 50lb line. From that point on I was hooked on braided line for cat-fishing. I quickly made the step up to using 50lb PowerPro moss green line. This year I purchased two new Ugly Stik Catfish spinning combos from Bass Pro Shops and I am looking for suggestions for line to put on them. I am leaning toward putting 65lb PowerPro on them, but I have been reading a lot about using red line instead of green because it disappears better under the water. I am a little wary about making the switch from green to red, but don’t want to miss out on catching more fish. Hopefully someone who is a die hard cat-fisherman sees this and can give me their input. I am also wondering whether or not going up from 50lb to 65lb is going to make it that much harder to cast. Thanks.
I watched a fishing show a couple years back on “red” colored line. They did some testing with scuba divers in various depths to see when (or if) it actually disappeared. (I also read a corroborating article on this subject in Florida Sportsman Magazine.)
The results???
To the human eye the red line BEGAN to disappear in 20-22FT of water. Above that it was MORE visible than blue, clear or green. Ironically, ALL line starts to disappear in depths around 20 ft……
They hypothesized that the red color may attract fish because it replicates blood in the water.
In my opinion, line color is a “confidence issue”. What works for one angler may not work for another.
The only scientifically proven line that is invisible at any depth is Fluorocarbon.
If I were you, and wanted an invisible line, I would use a 25LB Fluro leader.
I have to agree with Devyn. 50LB Braid is PLENTY heavy for most US freshwater catfish applications. I’ve watched the TV show “The Hunt for Big Fish” where they were catching world record Mekong Catfish and the Host was using 25LB braid, (equaling 100LB Mono).
We don’t have cats in the US that will rival the Mekong’s……
Here’s a Youtube of a guy catching a “baby” Mekong-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jcaRq8BZFE
Like others have suggested, you SHOULD use a leader when fishing deeper water for big cats. Otherwise, you will eventually get snagged and lose uncounted yards of expensive Braid…….
Hope this extra info helps ya? Thumbs up to D.
