SirWhite Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Looking for a "tried and true" ice line /combo line for this coming season. Always, in the past (4 times lol) I've used my regular mono (Trout, in BC). Now, being in southern Ontario and fishing for things that have teeth (Walleye, Pike) Im struggling to figure out Flouro, Mono, or both. Its racking my brain. Anyone ?

Freshtrax Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I like 15pound braid with 8pound floro from the swivel down while fishin for lakers. Not much stretch in the 100FOW when i switched to braid i started catchin allot more whitefish i just never felt the hits with mono. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverowbotham Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 For perch I use 2lbs fireline with a 2-3lbs fluoro leader For lakers I use 6 lbs fireline with a 6-8lbs fluoro leader. I use lighter than than most, use whats best suited to you. If you're rip jigging a williams, you'll want heavier line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 My ice lines have the Northland Bionic line on some and Fireline Ice on the others. Both in 8 pounds test. I prefer the fireline Ice to the Bionic but I just put the Bionic on last year with about 2 weeks in the season so I'll continue to try it out. Bionic line They have the new fluorosilk and braid out but I just have the regular line. FireLine I bought the Fireline Micro Fused Ice Crystal and will give it a go as soon as I can. I have used the FireLine in the past and have been impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 +1 on 6lb FC and 4-6lb Drennan flouro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Yup, another vote for the FC. Giving Pline Fluoroice a shot on one combo this year. Edited December 20, 2011 by FRANKIE65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 If your in a hut fireline crystal... Outside a hut... Pline floroice is good... Landed a 10lb pike on 2lb floro last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archie_james_c Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I like 15pound braid with 8pound floro from the swivel down while fishin for lakers. Not much stretch in the 100FOW when i switched to braid i started catchin allot more whitefish i just never felt the hits with mono. What he said. Although, I've been known to slum straight 6 lb flouro for April whitefish/steelhead through the ice. Tomorrow Splake are on the menu, 6lb Sensation Solar Orange mainline, 6 lb chameleon leader, changing it up only to say I did Hard to beat 15 pound braid with ________ leader.
