Ice Line?

So whats everyones goto I typically fish panfish and crappies and walleyes in the winter so I set most of my rods up with 3# mono for panfish and 4# for walleyes I have tried braid in the winter but generally end up with mono. Trilene Ice is my goto.

While hole hoping I like 3# floro because it doesn't absorb water like braid. In the house I use 3# braid because it doesn't stretch and has plenty of strength for those pesky pike and walleyes.

I have a few differnt combos set up with different line weights. I usually have one rod with 3lb mono, 1 with 4lb mono that I use for panfish, then my walleye deadstick is usually 8-10 lb mono and my walleye jigging is 20 lb flourocarbon.

Sometimes I'll spool up with 2lb mono on the panfish rods but find its a pain to tie knots with. i'm not that delicate.

I use Northland Bionic Ice Line, either 3# or 4#, in most of the my panfish/trout applications. It remains pretty soft and easy for knot-tying, but has the strength to hold up against bigger fish. If I'm after 'eyes, I prefer Berkley Fireline Ice in 6#. Hard to beat for toughness.

I like the feel of Power Pro micro ice braid. I then do a loop to loop with flouro carbon. I like the Bionic from Northland. It lays nice and limp on the reel and gives great sensitivity. This combination gives you the best of both worlds by allowing a no stretch line and then an invisible leader to increase your percentages for those finicky bites.
