Ice Line

[WollMan]

Looking to get a couple new ice rigs for walleye's. what type of line do you guys suggest? for the most part i fish crappies and sunnies in the winter and use fireline miro ice, or what ever its called. I love the fire line, but an concerned about clear water fishing for walters. What do ya suggest?

[Koepper08]

I usually go with 6 lb test on my walleye rigs...Trying out Suffix Ice Magic this year, let ya know how it works!

I've got suffix ice magic 4lb on on set up. Great line, doesn't seem to coil much. Not a terrible price tag.

[WollMan]

Anyone use pline or other types of florocarbon? Likes/dislikes. I really like the fireline but the main concern is clear water and it sticking out like a sore thumb.

[Mike Walerak]

Flouro carbon has some advantages and disadvantages.

One disadvantage is that the line absorbs water. If you have this on a set line with a bobber it will eventually get heavy and sink your bobber. It is ultra clear though and the ultimate when the fish might be lineshy.

Most of my jigging rods have 4 or 6 lb P-Line. I just spooled up a couple rods with the new iceline from Lindy. It went on the reel very smoothly and I am eager to try it out. I think it will handle cold weather extremely well.

i got PP as my main line and use floro as a leader tied together with a two way swivel it works great. i use vanish and Pline floroclear 8# for walleyes is what i go with.

I go with the 8# line as well. My fat fingers have a hard time tying the 6 or 4 lb!

I have 3 rods rigged up with the power pro. 15 lb w/ a 2 lb dia. I think is the ratio. It works great with a swivel and a chunk of 4# micro ice the length of the rod just so the swivel doesn't get reeled into the eyes when storing. Seems to work great for the sauger and eyes I catch 20" and under!

4 lb. Pline is cool. Until you have a big walleye break you off and swim away with your 8 dollar chubby darter!

No more walleye fishing with 4 lb test for me!

4lb XL during the day and 6lb XL at night. Clear.

Use mostly pp 8-2 with a floro pline leader.Am giving the new suffix 832 in 6# a try on one rig,so far I really like it.

[My_Key]

I have 3 different types of line in use right now. I use either PP Ice or Fireline crystal on my jigging rods, with a 6 lb Vanish leader tied to a high quality swivel. My deadstick has 5lb test Lindy Ice line.
