Non-coiling line for spinning reels

[luckydave]

Looking for recommendations on fused or braided line that will avoid line coiling from being used on spinning reels for ice fishing. I'm looking for both walleye and panfish applications. Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

It's pretty much impossible for braided line to coil off, so I really don't know what you are asking.

Hi Dave,

Virtually all line will coil after spending time on either the spool it came on or your reel. The best thing you can do is try to select a low-memory line and make sure to stretch it as you are dropping it down the hole. I know I always have this problem on my Marmish rod. After hand stretching it out at the beginning of the day, I am usually good to go until I hit the lake again.

Tight Lines,

shawno

This line has not coiled of for me but I have to say dental flos type line not to confident in the stuff as it has not been as productive as other stuff.

I have had good luck with the Fireline Crystal and Power Pro. Never had a superline of any type coil though.

Fireline Crystal I have used quite a bit. It does coil, but not like regular fishing line. It's more like the twist coils that sets in over time.

Braids I've used have been Sufix Performance Ice braid. I'm thinking that new Sufix 832 with the sinking feature would benefit well. I've got 50# rigged on a pike baitcasting rod for some pike action.

no way around it, if you use a spinning reel, you will get line twist/coils.... if you using spoons, tie on a barrel swivel this should reduce coil. braids are better resisting line twist... but you will have to tie in some sort of mono or flouro at some point in your set-up. if you like using mono/flouro try going to a fly reel, they are great for shallow water use, but i've had good luck on deeper water also, down to 30 ft. just takes a bit longer having to pull line out every time. line spooling stations also help.. berkley makes a very affordable one! also next time, don't put too much line on your spool, this will also help, i gennerally keep it approx. 1/8" from the spool lip. since the invention of the modern flasher, it seems those depth finder wights have been put to the wayside... i still use mine however, it tends to stretch and pull the line keeping it from coiling. hope this helps!

I have been using P-line Fluroclear 6# and 4# sense the ice has been good enough to get out on and have had no real problems with coil or twists. I have one rod that I have 6# on that is 24" and I use for nothing but jigging lures and spoons and use a snap swivel on it and have had no problems with twisting and coiling. I also have one rod that I have the new Lindy Ice line on in 5#, I use it for plain red hooks and jigs and have not had much trouble with it, it seems to coil a little and when the line is not tight has wrapped its self on the drag knob a few times but seems to do a lot better then most lines. It also had some durability as not being bit off by northern pike with no leader. I am happy with both lines and have had a lot less coil and problems then other lines I have used in the past and will be using them in the future.

Last night I was fishing crappies and was to lazy to tie another rod with a plain red hook and sinker so I used my med action rod with the Lindy Line and it seemed to sink faster then my other rod that had pretty much the same set up with 4# P-line Fluroclear.
