Braided line color loss

There is a game on? who's playing

If you're running a 4' leader, I wouldn't lose any sleep over the color bleaching out of your braid.

The magic marker will come out a heck of a lot quicker than the original color. Personally I don't think it rreally matters. Especially with a long leader.

Look at all the colors that line comes in. I don't think any of it matters.

i use tuf line in green,loses some color for about 20 feet but makes no difference,using with fluro leaders.reading about the different colors like red after 15 feet is invisable.i fish strickly surf so alot of the water i cast into aren't 15 feet on the retreive.i have used fire before and have heard the magic marker thing but never did it,still caught with no problem.

When I used Fireline it always went silver in one season, I just striped the line and put it back on in reverse, Now all new line again, after second season just throw away.

Spiderwire Stealth hold the color good and I have never worried about it.

But as has been said I don't think it matters if you are useing a long enough leader.

For a few years, I just tied direct with Fireline, no leader. No problems with new line or faded line, as far as getting fish to strike. Leader is convenient for preventing cutoffs and for hauling large fish to shore without slicing fingers.
