Normally, when I buy CTs, I try to get about a 50/50 mix of green and orange so that if I'm ever using two at once with live bait, I can easily tell which one is from which pole in strong tides or wind etc. I just happened to notice a trend a few weeks ago after experimenting with hooking up all kinds of stuff to CT's on nice days over a period of a few weeks; ALL THE CTs IN MY TACKLE BOX ARE GREEN The reason for that is, all the orange ones (1-2 per trip) were lost to my poor management of large fish hookups. The green ones rest happily in the box because I never lost any to big hookups.
Anyone else have any biased, unfounded theories on this?
I normally put a lighter line under my CT than I spooled on the reel. That way I keep my CT and only have to tie on another hook. They are cheaper than the CT's. i also put two split shot weights on the bottom under the metal beads to help casts and it pops better.
I think I am convinced that the orange CT's catch more fish. At least in my experience.
