Reaction Tackle braid comes in dozens of colors, from bright Hi-Vis Yellow to Moss Green, camo patterns and No Fade colors. With so many options, which should you pick? It comes down to two questions: do you need to see your line, and can the fish see it?
Hi-Vis Colors: See Every Bite
Hi-Vis Yellow, Hi-Vis Green and Hi-Vis Orange are easy to see above the water.
- Best for: Line watching on jigs, Texas rigs and drop shots; night fishing with a headlamp; low light; tracking where your line is.
- Tip: In clear water, add a fluorocarbon leader so you get visibility above the water and stealth below.
Low-Vis Colors: Blend In
Moss Green, Low-Vis Gray, Sea Blue and Timber Brown are made to blend with the water.
- Moss Green: Green-tinted lakes, grass and weeds. A great all-around freshwater color.
- Sea Blue: Clear and offshore water with a blue tint.
- Low-Vis Gray: A neutral color for a wide range of water.
- Timber Brown: Stained, muddy and tannic water.
Camo Colors: Break Up the Line
Camo braid alternates colors along the line, so there's no long solid color for fish to key on. Choose a pattern that matches your water, like Green Camo for weedy lakes or Blue Camo for clearer and saltwater. We also offer fun patterns like Fire Camo, USA Camo, Pink Camo and Mexico Camo.
Multi-Color: Know How Much Line Is Out
Multi-color braid changes color at set intervals, so you can count how much line is out. That's useful for vertical jigging, trolling and dropping to a fish you see on your electronics.
No Fade: Color That Lasts
Many braids fade with sun and use. No Fade braid is made to hold its color longer, so your low-vis line stays low-vis and your bright line stays bright. Available in colors like Black, Red, Low-Vis Green, Moss Green, Yellow and Hi-Vis Green, plus X8 8-strand options. Read Why You Need No Fade Braid.

Does Color Really Matter?
Sometimes. In clear water with wary fish, low-vis colors or a leader can help. In stained water, fish are less likely to notice your line, so pick the color that helps you see. For a deeper look, read Does Fishing Line Color Really Matter?
