The Great Braid Debate–Fort Peck Edition

The braid color battle was on at Fort Peck for these anglers….

When you drop two seasoned anglers on Fort Peck with three bold braid colors, things are bound to get interesting. Denis Isbister and Jarod recently went all-in testing P-Line’s TCB Slick Coat Braid in Orange, Hi-Vis Yellow, and Moss Green, and the result was a crash course in salmon hookups, line color theory, and Fort Peck rigging hacks. From smoother casts to sharper bite detection, they proved that sometimes the shade of your line can be just as important as the lure you tie on. Now the real question: which color would you spool up first?
