Downrigger cable color?

[Jammer]

Here's one for the "thinking about way too much detail" crowd...

I'm replacing the coated cable on my probe rigger since I have an X4 on the Christams list this year.

I noticed Scotty cable is bright silver and Cannon cable is camo brown. Do any of you think there is a difference in which might spook fish, attract fish, etc.

My corner riggers are Cannons and have the brown camo. I have a spool of the Scotty bright silver but thought I'd ask opinions before I use it.

thanks,

JAM

I would think the quality of the cable might be the deciding factor rather than color itself. I have brown on one of mine and silver on the other and have never noted any difference

in the amount of fish action....more related to how they are run and what is on them.

I think sometimes people over think things!

Haha! WWGD? Kevin, you're right! Donate it to the lake!!!

[UNREEL]

Well I guess if the Air National Guard can donate a drone to the eastern basin then what's a couple of X4's donated off I-Bay. Jeff have you considered trying braid for downriggers? Just askin.

Kevin, I think braid would not be a good choice for a couple reasons:

1. fleas

2. Cannon short stop would not work

I'll probably just use the Scotty bright silver cable.
