What Ice line are you using and How do you fish it.

One critical thing for me is that 4lb test does not go thru my eyelets very well and also doesn't pass through slip bobbers near as well as 3 lb. And I am hooked on the hi - vis yellow, course I am half blind. Someone let me know where I can find the yellow stuff in 3 lb, sometimes difficult.

I use the trilene ice, I think they are coming out with some type fireline that is for the ice...but I will wait and see. I may even start using flourocarbon if I can get it for the ice it does make a difference in open water

I used the fireline up at devils lake on perch rods because of the need for a low stretch line while fishing at 40 feet. Devil's lake is dirty water , so the fish seeing the line was not an issue. Tying jigs on can be a b***h. The only knot I found that didn't slip was the Palomar, and that's tough to tie sometimes on tiny jigs with frozen fingers. I tried fishing it around here, but my other poles out produced it. So I tried tying a leader of flourcarbon, that is a tough nut to crack.  A bloodknot will work , but it might take several tries before you get one that won't slip. At the end, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

Just your eveyday run of the mill "fireline"

I fish mainly in a shack so I don't have the problems of ice build up at some people experience :)
