We use the cajun line to tie snells for Canada. The stuff never breaks. We use 8lb test. We have also just started using it in the winter. Haven't used it enough in the winter to tell you the good and the bad!

Trilene XL for bobbers. I dont know if that Red line would be good. I know its supposed to be clear in the water but it still keeps me puzzled. Anybody know if its clear in the water or does it keep some of its color?

The idea behind the red line is that red is the first color to disapear at a distance with blue at the other end of the color spectrum would take the longest.

Ya but does it happen in fresh water? My brother in law chartered in Florida and says it was popular down there but Im wondering if I should just stick with Florocarbon.

Northlander,

It should work in any water. It has to do with the visible light spectrum. The water acts like a light filter and refractor. The weaker of the light waves (red, orange, yellow) disappear the quickest. The stronger light waves (green, blue, violet) take longer to disappear. Think back to your science classes.

I just spooled up 8 lb test of the Cajun Lighting. Gonna see how well it works.

My guess would be that since it does take a little bit of distance for even red to disappear that if you're fishing shallow you may want to stick with the clear lines such as flourocarbon. If you're fishing deeper (6+ feet) then the red shouldn't be a problem at all.
