Has anyone heard of this kind of fishing line. I was thinking it may work for my tip-ups as the main line. Just looking for some input on this stuff if anyone knows about it? Thanks guys

The only results I got back in my quick search were from sites over seas... Where did you find it? Becareful of using braid on tip ups. If it's a standard braid, the line diameter is usually very thin and can cut you badly while fighting a fish. Braid is usually poor when it comes to abrasion resistance, if you have line laying around the hole while pulling the fish in, you run the risk of it getting caught on the ice shards and breaking if the fish makes a run.

Ahhhhh... Got it. You could definitely use it on tip ups, it's not a true braid but a dacron. Go for it, let us know how you like it.
