Line colour: hi-vis, stealth or clear

Hi-vis PE (yellow / pink / chartreuse)

Rasgos

  • You see the line jump, swim or go slack
  • A fluoro leader hides the last metres
  • Dyes fade; that is cosmetic

Ideal para

  • Drop shot, Ned, Neko, jerkbait on the pause

Contras

  • Tied direct in clear water

Metered multicolour PE

Rasgos

  • Colour changes every 10 m, marks every 1 m
  • Count depth and cast distance

Ideal para

  • Vertical jigging, counting a bait down, trolling

Contras

  • Nothing — a hi-vis with a ruler built in

Dark / moss / black

Rasgos

  • Low reflection, blends with cover
  • You lose the line-watch

Ideal para

  • Frog, punch, flipping tied direct; rock and wood

Contras

  • Finesse where the bite is seen

Clear fluorocarbon

Rasgos

  • RI 1.42 — least visible
  • Diameter matters more than tint

Ideal para

  • Every leader; bottom-rig main line

Contras

  • Nothing — the default

Tinted fluorocarbon (pink / green)

Rasgos

  • Pink is the first colour to vanish with depth
  • Green blends in stained water
  • A marginal edge at best

Ideal para

  • Stained-water leaders (green), deep clear (pink)

Contras

  • Paying extra for "invisible"
