it is sorta white but it is round so ice doesn't stick and very low vis.
I think opaque is the word that best describes it.   It disappears almost fully when in the water.

Are you talking about that nanofil stuff? I was looking at it the other day and there is no way I can justify paying 20.99 a spool.
last time I looked, a 50 spool of most other brands of specialty ice lines were between 5 and 7 dollars !   Nano is 20 bucks for a 125 or 150 yard spool.  Cant remembers which but it works out to about the same price Plus it lasts a long time.

  I haven't used it yet, but I hope it has more stretch than braid...I'll have a mental break down like last year when I dumped like 6 eyes at the hole in a row with power pro...Mono may produce less strikes but you dump way less at the hole...Hows that go Fred? I'll only fish for biters anyway.  ;D
try to keep your drag a little looser.

Looser drag using Power Pro .   That's what he was talking about.     You have to use less drag or softer rods with braid.  Doing that equals the stretch you'd get using mono.

  I understood what you were saying, my drags are set as tight as they go no give what so ever, it's a race to the hole for me... ;D...no fish on oneida pulls drag except burbots and the odd catfish or sheepshead....this line could be deadly, I usually run just plain trilene ice line 4lb. clear  diameter is .008

  Oh no, not another line like flouro carbon...were only talking about mid day fish at best anyways, there either hot or there not, they'd hit planerboard cord when there hot.
