Mono Color?
« on: March 05, 2012, 03:02:44 PM »
I ordered 50# mono to uses as leader for my braided line. Apparently I didnt pay attention to detail and it is the fluro yellow. Does this really make a difference fishing in NJ for bottom fish, stripers, fluke/flounder/etc?

Yellow light frequencies, which yellow colored things reflect, gets filtered out of the water column pretty fast.  I wouldn't worry about it for bottom fishing, or really any fishing unless the water is really crystal clear.

The water is green so i wouldnt  worry too much about it i made the same well sorta same mistake last year, buying hi vis yellow instead of moss green power pro.
Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

As said above, the water clarity is not too good around here. You might have problems offshore with Tuna or Mahi. Luckily mono is not too exspensive and would not hurt your wallet too much to replace.

What brand floro yellow? Some brands are brighter than others and ones description of "floro" can be different than someone else.

Bottom bouncing and fluking I would use it.....stripers not so much.
