Color braid
I know there is colored braid on the market but I want to color just a short section at 25, 50, & 75'.
Tried a couple things already that didn't work very well
Has anyone tried dye,,, that's my next move
I have this vision of loosing 3 fish in a row from line failure,, 25' at a time LOL

Sharpie is the best bet.
Otherwise get some JB hollow core and splice in the colors at desired intervals.

I use the same stuff as Niko.
I think it's called boat braid.
Awesome stuff.

Don't like Sharpies.
Use permanent Markers on the 1st few feet of line. The yellow and black make a camo effect.

I can't see/distinguish the boat braid colors at night!

 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
