huntervasili Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Wondering what Kind of line you guys use on tip-ups... What do you prefer and for what species and Lb test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyejigger Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 i voted for mono, but it's "ice" mono, so maybe it falls under tip-up specific on my ice rods i use regular mono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_fishin Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 tip-ups are sensitive enough, no need for added sensitivity with a superline. i've got mono on all of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I use the Stren mono ice-fishing in 4 lb test on my tip-up and fireline in 8 lb test on my ice fishing rod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutologist Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 The stretch factor in mono is nice when handbombing a fish in. my manual drag still needs some tuning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidge Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yeah I'm with Clampet. Just bought a tip up at the show last Friday and spooled it with 10 lbs Trilene. Used it for the first time Saturday no problems. Caught a pike on it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatB Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I use the black tip-up line, with a mono leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsn Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I didn't vote on any of the above cause I use a combination of lines. I fish in 60-70 feet of water. I don't like the stretch in mono at that depth. I need to be quick and set the hook hard. So I use 14lb power-pro main line and 20-30 feet of flourocarbon so the fish don't see the line. dsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
