What brand of line do you use

[Cheers]

Any thoughts on the besrt line for winter fishing . I used a flurocarbon all summer and liked it a lot but as the weather got colder it seemed to be weaker .

I just spooled some P-Line Floroice in 2# on one of my ice rods today. I am impressed with the no memory it has, and it worked good in todays weather. I am still undecided whether I like it due to it is invisible and that light of line is hard to tie. I am going to give it a good workout this week and see how it goes. I also have some Hi-Vis Gold on another rod. I really like that line. It has a little memory, but you can really see the light bites due to the bright gold color.

Try PLine... They make Floroice, a Fluorocarbon blend specifically made for ice-fishing. Only problems is finding someone who carries it...

Take care!

I'm not too picky about my ice lines. Lake of the Woods & Red Lake are also my big ice fishing lakes. I need a very strong line yet I like a small diameter line too. I've been using 4lb FireLine with much success over the last 3-4 years. 28" walleye and a 40" pike were handled with ease on this line. The stuff is a pain in the butt outside but works very effectively inside a heated house.

I just picked up my dad (2) St. Croix combos and he wanted PowerPro spooled on them so I put the 10lb/2lb dia. line on his reels. We'll see how much he likes it. I think he'll like the rod combos more than anything!! They are a far cry from his current ice rods.

I just use the 4 lb stren Ice, works fine for walleye bluegills and crappies. I have used the fireline as well it's harder to use but you will have less break offs even when the ocassional northen takes it.

P-line floroice. Best stuff out there. Thorne Bros. carries it and so does the Forest Lake Gander Mtn. The P-line floro clear is also the same diameter as the floroice and you can use that if thats all you can find. Most sporting good stores carry the regular P-line.

I use P-line floroice on panfish and fireline on the bigger fish. Like both,maybe p-line better, but both are good lines.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I too am a huge fan of the P-Line Floroice...I will give you all a big hint. And I talked directly to P-line for the answer. P-Line Floroice and P-line Floroclear are the exact same product with just different packaging. I like to change my line a few times a winter and like to buy the line in larger spools. Floroclear is larger spool!

I still use good old Trilene XL, 4 thru 10lb on the LOTW for 95% of my angling.

for mono? Nothing but Trilene XL or XT!!!!

[icehousebob]

Berkley Trilene Cold Weather and Fireline. I tried Mico Ice and I prefer the Cold Weather.Used to use Spiderwire, but it would ice up badly when fishing outside the house.

[EBass]

Vanish for me. I do like P-line though to, but I haven't tried it out.

[Bob Horn]

P-Line year around!

[Ishmel]

What about the HT Black Ice? Mills in St. Cloud has it for fifty cents a spool (25yds). I assume since it's in the discount bin it must not be very popular, but for that cheap...... maybe I'll try it.

[Duffer]

trilian power pro and fireline.

[Blaine]

I'm trying Power Pro Ice this year. So far I like it a lot. On the tip ups, I use Seaguar Carbon Ice.

[Fergus Mor McErc]

P-Line for me too; summer and winter.

[BigDaddy]

Spooled up 2# Vanish on my panfish rigs to try Vanish/floro for the first time.

Yesterday, I brought in a 27" pike on the stuff; I'm a believer.

[tomfromblaine]

Has anybody seen a flourocarbon line that changes color? I thought I saw an ad for the stuff somewhere, I like the idea of me being able to see it but the fish can't.

[Lights]

Nothing but Trilene XL it does its job just fine for me.

[Northlander]

I have used the Cajun Red line in the summer but not winter. I also like the visablity above the water and supposed invisability below. I just dont know how invisable it will be in the clearer winter waters.

I use mostly Power Pro and Fireline on my jigging rods with a mono shocker leader, usually Vanish or P line. On my deadsticks and bobber rods I run Trilene XL clear in lakes and XT green in Rivers or darker waters.

The Power Pro and Fireline are fine in a house but terrible out in the cold.

If Im Laker Fishing and moving from spot to spot outdoors I use 12-15# XT in Clear.

tomfromblaine,

Berkley Vanish has a line out called Transition, I think that is what you were looking for.

[Long Gray Line]

Had the Aqua-Vu out last time and the fluorocarbon definately disappears under water. The blue stuff (Micro-ice??) is very visible. The 3lb test I had on was a solid black line all the way to the lure about 10' down.
