This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I don't see a need for the Red PP.
When fishing deep diving cranks, I usually go with Fluoro, will be doing the same for bottom contact plastics.

The reason they make Red PP is because it is the first color on the spectrum to fade under water.

As for green, I simply use it for frogs and pitching applications in weeds.

I've used both. And switched back to green.

Apparently the new red doesn't "bleed". But after a few days in the water the red faded to pink and I hadn't to listen to my brother ask me why I use pink line on my musky combo.

I've been replacing my crank bait trebles to red ones and seeing increased strikes??? Coincidence or maybe the red really does disappear and baits look more realistic?? Keep posts coming!!! I'm thinking I'm going to try red vermillion!!!!! Lol

I'm nowhere close to being a pro, but I put a fluoro leader on anytime that I use a technique that the fish might see the line. As for the color of my PP for any slow moving technique like wacky rigging Senkos then I use PP in Hi-Vis yellow to easily spot the line jumps. I have spools of green and red PP also and I don't prefer one over the other.
