Whats your favorite line for the ice?

I'm just getting back into ice fishing and now that the new wheel house is finished I need to re-spool a bunch of rods for crappy and eyes. I tried searching here but couldn't find any info. Anybody have a favorite line? Thanks.

For me, if you're using two different outfits (one for eyes, one for crappies), I love using Northland 3# Fluorosilk for crappie and other pannies and I use 6# Fireline Ice line for eyes with a Fluorosilk leader. If you're going to use one combo for both fish, I'd recommend going the Fireline ice line route, either 4# or 6#, whichever you feel more comfortable with.

For pannies I use 3 or 4 lb Cajun ice. Its nice and limp when its cold, has very little memory, minimal icing, and great knot strength. For walleye I use power pro ice in a 4lb diameter (I think its 12 or 15lb) with a 10lb floro leader. The power pro ices up a little bit when not in the shack in temps under 20°, but its tolerable. Great sensitivity though for fishing deeper. Those are what I have stuck with after trying some others.

I use two kinds. 2 and 6 lb vanish, and 2 and 4 lb suffix ice magic in the orange color. the 2lb goes on my panfish rods, and the 6 on my walleye. Im trying out the 4 on a few walleye rods this year just for fun. but these have been my staple lines since the ice magic came out. havent lost a fish on 2 lb from a break off in years!
