Line Dancin Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 So i bought two spools of 20 lb big game last year the first i opened and used last year was clear. the second said it was clear but was green when i opened it. Of course i just found out tonight over a year later. Has anyone used green line recently. whats your thoughts try it or use it for something else. This will be used on my 4 rigger rods only.

Hotdog71 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I've been using it for the last 6 yrs along with clear on a few rods, kinda as an experiment. No real difference was seen between the two. I didn't have one color out fish the other.I say try it. If you notice a big dip in catches, then consider a change. I don't think it will happen, but I've been wrong too many times to count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmishler Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I haven't seen a difference, have them on riggers for the last few years. Not realizing I put clear for leaders on the cores. They all took fish equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulywood Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I used the green Ande for riggers off and on and have never noticed a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priority1 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I have used clear, green, and pink and all have worked well. I like the Trilene XT, Trilene BG, and also Ande. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Salmon Slayer Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I've been using the 20# Big Game Green for 10 years and never have had an issue catching fish on it. The last five years I've added a 20# fluorocarbon leader that is about 25' long to the Big Game because the water clarity over here is gin clear.

Just Hook'n Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've actually been out when the only rod in the spread catching fish was one with green backer on it...and I am a stickler for keeping things the same so of course I complained ahead of time about the green line being different. My crew would not get off my back ever time that thing went off...they threatened to change all the backer to green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherman51 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 i have always had very good luck with green line. a actually prefer it over the clear line. i think the green line blends in with the water better than the clear line does. except for floro leaders. so i would use it, i think you might just be surprised.sherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelsanders Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I use that stuff on my riggers and quite frankly i love it.great price and good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAC Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have also had the green on my rigger rods and backed my lead core with it. Since the riggers have the clear fluoro leaders, I can't see that it could make any difference. I would actually prefer the green, but only because I like the color, not because it catches more fish.
