mike rousseau Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Fireline Crystal. 6lb on all my ice setups, 6lb on my centerpin. That's what got shredded... Maybe it was just too old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) That's what got shredded... Maybe it was just too old Really? Wow, you sure it wasn't Nanofil? LOL! I've had Fireline shred, but not to the point of it ever breaking. Even with loads of ice in my guides. Edited November 28, 2014 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Field Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Fireline Crystal doesn't shred as easily as the original fireline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Nanofil is useless in the cold. Fireline Crystal may be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I run this on both my ice rods and centre pin now. It's been good to me Siglon Flourescent in the bright pink - it sure is easy to see ice fishing. It picks up less water running through the guides. My reels that had nanofil and crystal braid on them pulled up more water through the guides that would freeze. I'll still fish braid first when weather allows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 At first I assumed you were ice fishing, but now I am not so sure. Does your rod have microguides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rousseau Posted November 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Regular spinning rod Regular guides Yes... Open water... Fireline crystal... It was like the strands were all seperating... It was so bad the loops of loose strands were tangling in the guides....

c10 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) The meaning of life is an easy question, it's Happiness and love. Just so happens fishing makes me happy and I love to do it ahahahahaha - so perhaps the meaning of life is indeed fishing, you guys are onto something. I dont know why I took philosophy courses in school, I should have just come here ahahahaha but in all seriousness: I used the Sufix 832 last year on the ice because I had a bunch of good line that came off my open jigging rods and I wasn't keen on throwing it all away, I have big guides on my ice rods, but still the braid froze so easily - I am curious in your opinions, are there any winter superlines/braids that are similar to the Sufix 832 and good at stopping or at least reducing the ice build up on the line? (there will be ice some on my guides and lines I understand, sometimes there's not much i can do about that in -30 temps lol). Now the line never broke or frayed because of the cold water, I suppose I am more just curious to see if there is any good braids that would reduce the ice build up and are like the sufix? It is by far my favorite line for jigging at the moment and i like to keep things the same for the most part ahaha Thanks - Chris Edited December 1, 2014 by c10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 the main thing about superlines like suffix 832 is that they are textured. that picks up water and viola, ice build up. I still prefer fluoro. its smooth and sensitive. kinda in between mono and superlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Suffix 832 is garbage when it's warm out, god I hate that stuff. I can't even imagine using it on the ice. I'd probably try to stick my head in the hole and drown myself if that was the only line available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c10 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 aha sorry Bill, sounds like I brought up some bad memories ahaha. I have had good luck with it fishing for walleye's and pike in logs throughout the year - have never had any issues with the heat personally but meh, it may be time to try a new one as i have heard lots of guys say the same... Do you spool the flouro directly to your spool? I have generally only used it for leaders or cheaters. -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garnet Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Blakemore Reel Majic I use it steelheading and ice fishing. I spray my float and then do 12-15 ft above the float by spray on a clean rag, then spray all guides and then your spool. If you read the bottle it says resists ice, it also keeps your line floating and soft, Even if you get some ice it remove much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c10 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Yea, but is that stuff safe for the environment? I would rather just deal with the ice build up then put more toxic chemicals in the water where i would want to take my grandkids fishing ahaha -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 That's another good thing about Reel Magic . Odorless and non toxic. It's primary use is in the Veg/Fruit packaging industry. Guides and rollers are sprayed with this product making them slippery stopping bruising. It's silicone base but don't use the spray from CT that's oil base.
