Very Cold Temp. Line Suggestions.
« on: Dec 30, 2004, 10:04 AM »
What line do you all suggest when fishing in very cold conditions?  The Fireline freezes up, the mono has lots of stretch with 60' of line out but is it the best option?  How does the Flourocarbon behave at -10 degrees?

I used p - line fluoroclear last weekend for laker fishing, and the temp was well below zero, up to 20 below probably. It stayed pretty manageable.

I like magnathin or sensithin but they can cause some problems until used a couple of times.  Trying the flurocarbon this year.

Sounds like I will be respooling with Flourocarbon, thanks for the input.

Try the Vanish or P-line flourocarbon ice line.  Can't do much better than these.  I like 8-10# test for most situations; heavier if you go deeper than 60 feet.
