Title: Laker Braid
Post by: Cub on Jan 21, 2011, 06:02 AM

Looking for the best braid..Fishing 25-50',1/2-1 ounce jig.
In the process of trying Suffix 832 in 40lb.
If I went from 40lb to 20lb would I have less ice up on the line and reel?
Please help...Thanks

10 pound fireline.  Never had a problem.

Smaller diameter will ice up less.  Most of all it's far easier to strip the ice off the smaler line.

I used Sufix 832 50# and Spiderwire Stealth 50# but that was in the warmth of the shelter only.
