Cajun Ice

[portageman]

Any thoughts on the Cajun Red Ice line? I am interested in it, but when you are used to the Berkley Ice the red looks awful strange....

[Northlander]

Im curious to find out if that red really disapears in the clearer winter waters. Im sticking to Berkley XT and XL. Maybe some vanish as shocker material.

[JohnMickish]

I like the fact that I can see it!

[Northlander]

But isnt it supposed to clear up in the water? I dont want fish seeing my line especialy red line.

[icehousebob]

I bought some spinner rigs for summer trolling and their claim to fame was that the fish would follow the red line back to the spinner and baited hook. I have to believe that the fish can see red line.

[portageman]

I am going to spool up one rig with the red. I will let you know how it goes.

I have all my reels with Cajun Ice on them. There are a couple of reasons why I like the Cajun, other that it is a lot easier to see when tying your hooks--it is also very durable and hard to break. But, the one thing that I have liked the most is that is seems to not ice up as bad as some of the other lines that I have used! So, for what it is worth I really like the Cajun line!

Portage,

I've been using 3# this winter. Nice and easy to see when watching the line. As good as any other premium ice line out there.

I did add 3 ft of flourocarbon tippet material (didn't trust the invisible part of it).

I've got it on one reel and it seems to work pretty well. Easy to see, tough, not too much memory. From what I can tell, it's pretty invisible in the water. I can't see it very well, but I have no way to know if the fish can.

Sure wish Berkley hadn't stopped making the XT in fluorescent green .

If you're night fishing, you use a 12 volt black light and the stuff looks like it's on fire !

I just spooled up some of the ice red this weekend. I think that it should work well. Doesn't look to been any better or worse than any other mono I have used. I think that the red will disappear in water like they say but the best is that I can see it will my eyes.

[Northlander]

Fishercat Im with you on that one. I still have some laying around that a got when they went and quit making it. I think Im down to the last half spool of 8#. I found that the yellow fireline is almost as good. I think you can still find flame green in another name.

[iffwalleyes]

Isn't it called Solar or something like. I used that a lot before I switched to more of the super lines.

[walleyedude]

I dont know if its just me but i had trouble with it in the summer i tried it 3 diffrent times and each time it just kept jumping off the spool so i just went back to the Triline and it worked so i dont know maybe i just had 2 bad spools

[schweady]

Yeah, I've had some times with it spilling off the spool more than some lines, but it is so doggone easy to work with: tie a sloppy knot? still holds tight without breaking... got those goofy bifocals on? still pretty easy to see... out in the cold? not so much icing up... get a bit of a bird's nest? comes free a bit easier than most other mono... It's on all of my ice reels.

I agree with big pine. I like my red line also. This is the first year with it but I will purchase it next year also.

[elusivecrappiecatcher]

I was out on Mille Lacs this weekend and I baught a new Berkley Lighting Ice rod and put the cajon red line on. I had the exact same hook, same bait, and same depth on both rods. Other rode had Berkley Micro Ice, and I caught more fish off the rod with the red line than I did with micro ice. I wasn't a believer of it but I will be getting rid of the micro Ice on all my rods to put Cajun red line on. It is some tuff stuff to.

[Big Pine Walleye]

Cajun line also works great for snells in the summer!

[coldmark]

I bought the Cajun Red Cast line not realizing that they made Red Ice. Should I just use the non-ice line or return it? Anyone use the Red Cast as a winter line? Thanks.
