Yes, spectra. Fish cant see it. Knots easily, cuts kelp, good abrasion resistance, same strength as main line. Why not??

If no swivel is necessary, straight spectra to hook.

Do you know at what depth they say red disappears?

[Kaijuu]

Loss of color underwater at depth

What color disappears first underwater?


Water absorbs different wavelengths of light to different degrees. The longest wavelengths, with the lowest energy, are absorbed first. Red is the first to be absorbed, followed by orange & yellow. The colors disappear underwater in the same order as they appear in the color spectrum. Even water at 5ft depth will have a noticeable loss of red.


At what depth underwater does color disappear?

• Red - 15ft
• orange - 25ft
• Yellow - 35-45ft
• Green - 70-75ft

fishing spectra leader makes no sense to me, surprised your "Ghost" did not tear out the hook with no forgiveness............but hard to argue with success.

If you are old enough to remember black and white television, you will realize that the objects do not disappear. They just turn a shade of gray.

You can see the color effect pretty dramatically with the red crab toward the end of the video. You can watch a green crab turn into a bright red crab right before your eyes. Like greg said objects will be a different shade not disappear.

nice video Tony.

Pretty cool seeing that color change.

Mono is actually much more abrasive resistant than spectra btw.

Way to get it done Keith, big congrats! Not much better than landing a ghost...Jim

Seabass teeth will easily cut through spectra. It has the least abrasion resistance compared w mono and flouro.
