My friends and I are also old-school and use sticks as well! We mainly ice fish for lakers and run 80 lb braid.

I use wooden tipups that I make myself rigged with reels and 40lbs braid

Here's a few pics

P-line fluoroclear for everything. 2lb for perch all the way up to 12lb for jigging the big fish.

Braid, I prefer Power Pro. It does freeze, but no other type if line straightens out better to get maximum feel out of a light bait.

[jeffw]

Power pro and and bass pro regular mon. Always use a flouro leader.

I use a 6lbs thor ultra, for lakers and whities on a thorne bros rod with a 2500 stradic.

 

Ive used all sorts of line and this has produced the best results for me by far.

 

light enough to let a small williams fall to the bottom in 120fow, and strong enough to handle a big laker.

any line thats 6-8 lbs test, any line.

P-line fluoroclear for everything. 2lb for perch all the way up to 12lb for jigging the big fish.

For fresh water fish I use 4 to 8 lb test mono if in shallow water or 6 to 10 lb test Fireline in deeper water.

 

For deep saltwater fishing in the Saguenay River, I use 30 and 40 lb braid and for ocean perch in deep water I use 14 lb test Fireline.

 

I use spinning and baitcasting reels on short home made rods.

Power pro on the jigging rod (15# diameter, 30#test), and good ol' black dacron on the gad -- which is my willow twig tip-up.
