I read on here on a post that the braided mason line is much better to use for traps then the twisted......as it doesnt untwist at the ends like twisted. Went to Home Depot and they have the braided but only in bright yellow and hot pink......does the color matter? Should I find white instead or can I use the yellow....not sure if crabs are smart enough for it to matter....  |

I can only stress on so many things in one day - looks like you're not making the list. Tomorrow isn't looking so hot, either.
