- Thread starter braailegend
- Start date
both posts are good read and sheds some light - pun intended - on the situation. maybe admin can move this thread to the freshwater help section as there is alot of info that covers all facets of freshwater and not just carp fishing... ima go with grey's, suppose you'll do the same with yellows and deisel is gonna keep to camo... it was a lekker discussion to have before i go out and buy some good quality line...
that might be from human perspective, no one really knows what it looks like from a fish's perspective as no one is a fish. lol
i used to use hi vis until tested on the bank. while every one els was catching fish, i wasnt and couldnt understand why. we were using the same rigs and same baits and both fishing structure, the fish were there but not picking up my bait. so there for we took one of his lines and dropped it by my spot and drop one of my lines by his spot and he continued to catch fish after fish, while i only managed one fish. fro the two days he had caught 12 fish and i only managed one fish.
its not a sientific test but it showed with out a doubt that you can improve your catch rate by making your rigs and line blend in. thats why i say stay away fromhi vis.
but each to his own

people would tell the diff, full speci(deisel) his rods are only 30cm off the ground, convert papi(me) standing on the bank looking heavy confused not sure whether to use mielie bom or pva bags and then hard and vas papi (you) with a book on 'boldips 101' and yellow gut on the spools... that would be an awesome sight. lol, just joking guys...
I have been using hi vis gut for a very long tiime and have had tempo where i catch every10m. I have got more fish on my hi vis than any of my fishing partners using other gut. So its not the gut that makes a difference. Plz guys do yourself a favour and look at all the top conventional anglers that fish for the marshals A team most use hi vis gut. So there is your theory out the window.
Listen, conventional angeling is not even closely related to specimen fishing, Specimen anglers target bigger fish were as conventional competition anglers fish for most fish as there are more point that way. You can youse your gut and i will stay with what most of the top anglers use. If you had read properly puma you would have seen that i said every gut has its own advantages and dis advantages, so trial and error it\ the best way to seewhat gut suits you best.
what ever you believe gert. Each to his own. my last statement to you will be if hi vis is so invisable then why dont you put a hi vis leader on aswell and also make your traces from hi vis line.
anyway. Sorry for the Hi Jack Braailegend. we will now get back to your original post.

Puma dont you have some toys to go play with. Each to his own. Whatever works best for you, you should use. I never said braid was wrong only that it wont suit my style of fishing. Why do you have o say it is wrong to use hi vis gut. I dont think the people that use it think it is wrong to use it.
