Pink leader?

Posts: 320


Is somebody knows what a reason to use pink fluorocarbon leader?
I read that nicks on the pink FC not so visible like on clear. But leader should be checked for absence of nicks before casting otherwise you are have a risk to loose fish. And it is not sure that "shiny" nick could spook the fish.
Yes, red color is first that "disappear" under water and pink "disappearing" even early.
But at first, red not disappear - it became black (loosing color), so pink should became grey that visible.
In any case clear is clear.
What are the real advantages of pink?
May be tinted lines has been appeared because there are some difficulties to get really clear line and color using for masking?
