Coloured 0.35mm mainline

#1 Post by tripodterror »

Can anyone help!??

Does anyone know of anywhere I'd get colour coded mainline, not the tapered stuff as I'd like to be able to use my own shockleader. Does anyone know if such a thing even exists as I'm having zero luck finding anything on t'internet?!

I've seen it with braid before. Have a Google about for Power Pro Depth Hunter multi colored. I dont think this would work with mono with the way its made. I could be wrong though.

You could always buy clear line and a box of markers and do it yourself!

Thanks jayball had a look at the power pro depth hunter and it only seems to be in braid...it would be ideal altogether if they did it in mono!

And i haven't been proven guilty of any misconduct in dingle aquarium denis

I've used the grauvell coloured tapered stuff and that was complete dirt aswell, if it was the last fishing line left on earth I'd take up knitting rather than use it again

I thought coloured mainline was quite common- I have a spool of yellow Daiwa tournament that I got in Halfway Angling

Thanks keith

It's metered coloured line i was inquiring about, those yellow and orange lines like the diawa tournament are known as high viz rather than coloured! Good line all the same though

Aldi did coloured mono last year, used it on a multi for casting practice down bray harbour,, it was crap for fishing like a rubber band :-(
