I use 30# Dacron with a 6ft leader of eather 8 or 15# fluorocarbon leader so I wouldn't think the color would matter if you use a leader like this because they really can't see it.

they sell line specifically made for tip-ups but i use fireline superbraid(smoke)for its small diameter and superior strength.never had it snap yet and i've pulled up some fat gators.(knock on wood)also never had a freeze up problem.

All I tied on was a 12 inch steel leader maybe thats why the flags never fly
My one friend told me not to use weight and the other always uses weight ?? I should probably stick to jigging

no steel and no weight. I use 3 ft. of 20# braided for a leader and the only weight I use is a 300# Spro saltwater swivel between the Dacron and the leader. This provides plenty of weight to keep the bait down.
