Im re-spooling my spinning reels, and would like to hear what others are using. I fish for perch, crappie, and gills.

Thanks

I don't have a lot to compare it to but had good luck with Suffice Ice Magic 3lb. This season I'm going down to alb on the UL.

Trilene micro ice 3 lb or Sufix 3 lb.

I just picked up some Sufix Ice 3,4# and some Trilene Cold in 6#. I like the Sufix, the Trilene Im curious about.

Mine are set up with #2,#4 and #6 lb P-Line. Use the #2 lb the most.

Chris338378 · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 29, 2015, 09:44 PM »

I've been using the Tirlene Cold Water since 1996 and never had any problems with it.

Cool. Thanks.

Trilene XL 2 and 4lb. Works just fine without costing you much.

bigstorm · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 30, 2015, 06:06 PM »

I Have used Sufic Ice Magic for the past few years (2 or 3lb), this year I'm starting out with Sufix Invisiline Fluorocarbon to see how that is

HAHAHAHA I went to my spool my reels with my new line, and found that 'someone' needed my reels more than I did! So now I have a shopping bag full new line, and no reels (or rods) to put then on!!

Oh the irony!

Im now looking for suggestions for new reels..... My old stuff was good (Tica Cetus/Shimanos....), is there anything better?

Tica cetus,shimano sedona and sienna,and pflueger presidents are great spinning reels.You could also get an inline reel like a black betty 6061,cgi inline reel, or an okuma slv.

wow took your reels! that blows!! left the rods?
trions for me and some okumas and now a few ht's
been using asso super high tenacity 2# but is the diameter of most 5# so i am trying some german line called stroft gtm 2#. it's smaller than a babies hair!

kb · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 31, 2015, 09:21 AM »

No, the rods too. Nothing really special, but replacing 8 rods and reels will cost me.

I keep them in a hard sided gun case, imagine their surprise when they opened it up expecting to see a gun!

HAHAHAHA

Chris338378 · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 31, 2015, 06:04 PM »

I like the Eagle Claw inline reel, it looks like the Blackbetty but there isn't the price tag shock. I can't wait to try it out this year.

3300 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 02, 2016, 09:27 AM »

what a shame! if your low on cash try open water line and those ht blues rods. ht makes a nice reel that was on sale for 15$, but that should be over with now. still, 6 bearings for 21$ is a good deal and infinite anti-reverse and the stem is designed for ice rods with a sharper angle on it to face the first guide better.
if you lived near me i'd give you some line and rods and a few jigs.

Chris338378 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 02, 2016, 09:30 AM »

I've used Triline XL in a pinch and it worked fine, no noticeable difference between that and the Cold Weather line other than the color.

Kevin23 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 03, 2016, 09:08 PM »

I like 3# sufix ice.. But i dont mind 2# trilene micro ice either. I use 4# seaguar red label on my spoon/rap rods for crappie/perch.

kb · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 04, 2016, 06:40 AM »

I've got a bag of Sufix, 3 and 4 pound, and 2# micro, and a 6# ice just waiting for my reels and rods to come in.

Thanks.

Good variety.

Thanks. Now all I need is some ice.....
