Power Pro - Green, Yellow, or White???

[Eye Slayer]

What is the best color, or doesn't it really matter?

For reference, I am planning on spooling the 20#-6#diam PP for pike on a spinning reel.

Thanks for your opinions!

I'm not into high visibility so I went with the green because it is well... green. Looks like weeds which are natural in lakes. No idea if it really makes a difference. I use a flouro leader in clear water anyway.

For pike you'll probably be fine spooling with any of the three. I've never noticed a huge difference in line color when targeting pike. Usually if they are hungry they're going to eat, and are not as line sensitive as other species...

I believe I agree with Matt. But, I would pick the green, because, like you said, it blends in with the rest of the world. At least from a person's perspective.

i have the green and hi-vis yellow. i do use the hi- vis for anything where i need to see the line! could it cost me fish? maybe; especially in clear water, but i figure it is a trade off.you should be ok with any of them.

As for line color, years ago salmon fishing on Lake Superior tributaries, I just couldn't catch anything with smoke colored mono, yet every one else seemed to be doing well. So I changed to clear mono, and bang, started to catch fish. So as a result of that experience I've always gone thought that line camoflouged with the surroundings would be best. I had been using a heavy casting line for bass, but changed that out last year and the strike ratio also seemed to go up, even though I use a flourocarbon leader. So I think there is something to line color and weight. There are those that swear by Cajun red line, others use hi-vis with success. Maybe it gets down to what you have confidence with but for me, it's going to be as small in diamater as is prudent and matched to the water color, the type and brand dictated by the type of fishing I'm doing.

Forget to mention, I'm currently spooled up for 4#-10 power pro for walleyes on the St. Louis River, and it certainly is a dark green. Doesn't seem to matter there if it's tied directly on or used with a fluorcarbon leader. But I still use the leader for ease of retying since I can't rapidly make good knots in power pro but I can in flourocarbon.

For Pike it wont matter. In dark waters it wont matter. If your looking for low vis in clearer waters you will need to go mono or floro. On certain days I use high vis chart or green lines but on others I will use green pp. In clear waters I almost always use clear xt. Im using the new Gamma line and it seems ok so far.
