PFUNK Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Wondering if anyone has any experience using fluorocarbon coated line for ice fishing. Was considering giving the P-Line floroclear line a try this year. I know they offer the floroice line as well, but I found a pretty good deal on the floroclear at a local dealer and wanted to get some opinions before I spooled it up. I also heard the floroice is the same stuff as the fluroclear but marketed as an "ice line" and sold on a smaller spool but just as pricey.

uptracker Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Fluoroclear and Fluoroice are the same...I did a lot of research on it. Use it all winter!You save a lot of money spooling mult reels with Fuoroclear ove Fluoroice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masoct3 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I use the PLine 12lb on a rod in the summer and it is 150 yards I believe for maybe $8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFUNK Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 I ended up getting a spool of floroclear and will be giving it a shot. I was mistaken and thought the floroclear was going for $7/spool but that was for the CX premium. The floroclear was $10 for 300 yards which is cheaper than buying the 100 yard spools of floroice. I look forward to giving this line a try as I have heard a lot of good about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Take care of tying your knots with a fluorocarbon coated line. They are more slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchJerker Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I use these lines a lot and am a big fan of them. You do have to be careful to make sure you tie good knots with this line .... but really you should pay attention to the knots you tie with any line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJH Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I am spooling with the Pline FlouroIce on my deadsticks (6lbs) for walleye. What knots do you guys reccomend, I was just planning on using the Palomar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron_mcfly Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 just an opinion here....iv dabbled into the realm of floro coated line and this is my conclusion.why buy floro over mono? I say because floro is less visible under water than mono and that equals more fish in the boat/ice.fluorocarbon coated line is mono with a fluorocarbon coating and there for less visible than mono but not half as clear as 100% fluorocarbon.maybe what im saying is nonsense or maybe I have the wrong idea about coated line but I get more hits on 100% fluorocarbon than mono...
