I have been using hi vis yellow for years. Been happy but was wondering if orange is easier to see early/late. Just wondering if a switch is worth it. Do you guys prefer yellow over orange or vice versa. any comments?
I have been a fan of the yellow line vs the orange. I think the orange may be to visable for fish underwater under certain times. I feel that watching your line to detect the light bites is very critical in catching those finicky fish. I like the 2# or 3# Cortland line for my panfish rods…
I do believe you’ll see better results with the green over the orange. Seems to be more visible for me and helps me catch more fish.
I love the yellow power pro

Made the switch this year on two jigging poles and wont be going back. Tuff, visible and sensitive 
Open water River Walleye/Cat fishing I use Hi-Vis yellow…Winter angling on hard water Hi Vis would be the last line I’d use.
I use this picture a lot when talking about hi-vis lines.
From top to bottom:
Trilene Solar Sensation
Suffix yellow (elite)
Suffix tangerine (siege)
Cortland
I’ve tended more and more towards orange lines. They are exceptionally visible at dawn and dusk. Think about how that orange tip-up flag color leaps out of the snow, especially at dusk as the walleyes are getting active under the ice. The same occurs over open water. For a tried-and-true line watcher, orange is hard to beat!
I just tried out suffix performance braid in Neon Orange, and I really like it. It is much easier to see than anything I else I have fished in the past.

where did you find that?
Thanks! all I have been able to find is the Green colored Braid. I’d like to try the yellow and Orange. 
Great picture, Jason. After seeing that and reading your post, I may need to give some of those other colors another chance.

Capra’s has it too Pier! 
In your testing Jason which line did you preffer. Been using suffix elite yellow but wondering what you might choose and why.
I used the Suffix elite yellow exclusively for a couple of years, and still have a number of reels spooled up with it.
Advantages: Very strong. Excellent knot strength. Very visible.
Disadvantages: not particularly manageable in sub-freezing temps. Significant memory.
Before that, I ran the Suffix siege tangerine. I liked that for its visibility, but it’s about the most stretchy line on the face of the earth.
I have more than half of my reels spooled up currently with the Cortland mono that Dean carries. It is VERY manageable in cold temps. It has reasonable knot strength, low stretch, and has fantastic visibility.
As I understand it, the Cortland line is manufactured by the same process that Cortland uses to make fly-fishing tippet, so the tolerances are very tight and the batch-to-batch differences are negligible. I’ve been very happy running it for the past 15 months or so.
thank you for the info. I just like to change line fairly often. especialy after vertical jigging twists the line beyond repair. The only issue I have is the 300 yard spools for 6lb. I can’t get larger spools to do multiple rods and hate wasting line on every spool. I can get cortland on large spools but not sure to get orange or yellow. Currently using suffix elite yellow
All of my reels have the original line on the first 1/2 of the spool then I only replace the 100 or so that I am using, when I get close to the knot it’s time to add new line. That way I can put new line on 3 reels with a 300 yd spool.
