Best Color Braided Line

I was just given a bunch of spiderwire ultra-cast ultra braid line 50lb test but it's bright yellow. Is this going to be a problem for top water and flipping? If it is then what's the best color braid to use or does it even make a difference?

I like dark green the best. You can always take a permanent green marker and color the last 3-4 feet if you don't like the yellow.

It used to be that I was Mr. Stealthy using green braid. A guide put me on to yellow line and I really like it. I use 2-3 feet of fluorocarbon shock leader anyway. I just bought a new reel and got a spool of florescent yellow and love that even more. Give it a try.

Doesn't matter what color your braid is, so long as you use it in the right applications.

I don't flip with braid, but i do fish with frogs using green. When it fades, I use a permanent marker to add the color back to it. Don't see why you couldn't do that with yellow. Just mark up the line several feet, and it should work.

I read a tip from a pro bass guy the other day.
He said to use bright braid to make it easier to detect bites. He takes a sharpie, cuts a notch in it, and he colors the last ten feet or so black.
I haven't tried it yet but it makes sense to me.

I fish saltwater with PP #20 in white. I do just as well on the specs and reds as everyone else in the boat.
Also, I can tie my knots alot faster because I can see the line. I'm not old by any means but fishing in the early morning and dusk, makes knot tying hard with green.
