I was thinking about getting some Cajun Red Fishing Line this season for my spinning rod and if I liked it for my icefishing rods for next winter. Have any of you use this line yet and how do you like it? Is fishing better with the red line or does the color make a difference, do its knots hold well, and what is a recommended knot for this line? :-\

I used it this year on one of my ice rods (Cajun ICE- 4lb). I liked the visibility on it alot. Caught fish and never had a problem with knots slipping. Some coiling of line, but not that bad. I just use an improved clinch knot with it, and it seems to hold fine. A friend used the regular Cajun, and had problems with coiling in cold water, but i've never tried it....... YET.

For catalog or online check Bass Pro Shops Or Cabela
BPS/ (http://www.basspro.com/)
Might have to call them I do not see it on either website.

Got mine from Gander Mountain. I would imagine Cabelas or Bass Pro carries it as well. Maybe even K-mart, I know they sell the regular stuff.

Since I started this post last winter, I have picked up some 10lb Cajun Red Cast. It has a low memory and so-far it has produced a fair number of pike and walleye for me.
I have even used it as a leader for the fireline.
I will also try it on the ice this winter and see how it works. ;)2

The kmart around here didnt sell it neither did walmart or meijers...our local gander sold out of it before i was ready to buy it so therefore i had to drive 45 miles to get mine...believe me it is well worth it...cant see anything but your jig once your below the surface...

sorry to bring an old topic back to life, but have any of you tested out the ice line yet? looking to try it out this winter maybe depending on what i hear.
-
I bought a 6000 yard spool of the cajun red line 8 lb test off ebay I hope it works lol
-
I use 8# Cajun on all my reels I have had nothing but success with it takes a lot for it to twist and it is tough to break when you have a snag. Now I am thinking about trying the ice line. What I normally do is use 4# Stren Hi-Vis Gold and tip it with some Berkley blue 2# test. So I would like to hear some responses on the Cajun ice line.
-
I use 3lb test works good. I really like it for the visibility above water and invisibility under water.
-
I use it along with trilene micro ice and both are very good. It seems the Cajun Red doesent coil up as much, but mabye that's just me.
-
I tried the 6# cajun line this weekend and it got all twisted. I would drop it to the bottom and a little extra line would uncoil from my reel. when I started to reel in, the line was twisted up with a loop in the end.

I can safely say that the ice line is the best line that I have EVER used on my ice rods. I would recommend it to anyone. I absolutely love it. The only downfall is When I hook into a pike. But what can ya do
-
i now use fire line crystal and its some awsome line, i use the cajun red on my tip ups for the leader so i can see the line done on the ice when i bring a fish up make keeping your feet off the line sooooo much easier
-
I've been using some 2lb cajun red ice line and have been impressed so far. Haven't had a break off yet even with a couple small northerns and some 1.5 lb bass caught. I like the visibilty above the ice as well since I like to watch the line for bites. good fishin

I have 6 lb test on one reel. Although I like the color, knot securing ability, durabiity and strengh in not breaking.... I'm concerned with the severe "memory" of it. Lot's off spooling as it comes off the reel.
