Best ice fishing line

[ActionJackson11]

What's the best line out there??

[stripernut]

For what type of ice fishing? Jigging pan fish, North Pike, Tip ups?

Jigging

[Soclose2far]

Damyl Tectan 5.5 or 6.6. you can find it at fishusa.com (IMO)

Fireline 2lb Braided

So on tips what does the consensus use?

And if its braided do you actually use mono against the reel?

And if its braided do you actually use mono against the reel?

The other way 'round. For me it's 6# Nanofil on the reel to a size appropriate (like 2#) fluoro leader.

If your question is if the superline needs backing that's a yes and no. You need something to keep the core of line from slipping on the arbor. You can use backing (mono or conventional Dacron braid) or just apply a piece of duct tape to the arbor before spooling up.

Yeah I was getting at stopping slipping.

On tip ups there really isn't any need to worry about slipping since you're not going to actually reel in fish with them. On my poles I've done a slip know around the reel and a piece of electrical tape over the line on the spool and just reeled the line on. Done that for years for all types of line and haven't had a problem yet.

I like mono for pan fish because it sheds water the best and freezes up the least amount.  Suffix braid with a fluorocarbon leader for walleye.

[Catfishzach]

Trilene micro-ice for panfish and KastKing braid for everything else and tip ups.

[gunnerdog]

10# Power Pro on all my jigging rods.  No leader or anything.

[nefarmer]

I also prefer triline micro line

[djdj113]

I typically go with triline ice line.  3-6# if fishing for panfish or walleye.  Seems to work well, but I couldn't tell you the difference between ice line and regular line.

[Unclegillhunter]

I think the difference between ice and regular line is higher price for less line for the ice.
Keep it safe! JDL

I tried some 2.3# tectan on a black Betty free fall and got my jig to the bottom faster than any other mono. Tectan is a type of mono but only half the diameter of regular mono.

What is the best tip up set up for Pike? Line and hook specifically. Thanks
