Ice Fishing Line
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2022 8:01 pm
Re-loading some reels for the hard water season. Most of the lakes I fish are quite clear, so I prefer to use FluoroCarbon line....6lb for Crappie/Perch and 8lb for Walleye. If I'm going deep for Whitefish, then it's 10lb braid with a 8lb. FC leader. I like the no-stretch qualities of braid for the sensitivity when deeper than 25 ft.
Last couple of seasons I used Sufix Ice FC and Sufix 832 Ice Braid....however both these lines can get stiff and springy when cold and wet...and don't necessarily shed water as advertised. I know there's a bunch of ice fishing specific lines on the market now...any experiences and recommendations to share ?
