Worst Ice Line

[icejunky]

I saw the fav ice line thread seemed to be taking off so what is everyones opinon on the worst ice lines on the market....here are my top 3

Trilene Ice...the blue kinky crap

PowerPro Ice...powerpro is my fav open water line, but the power blue line seems to get waterlogged and freeze easily

Berkley Vanish....again high memory, only to be used as a leader...

just one mans opinon

[dkfry]

I'd say the all time worst line I have ever used is Berkley Fireline. Fireline is nowhere near round, gets twisty very quickly and bites into the real super easy. Don't like it for open or hard water. Berkley Vanish is the next worse I've used, for leaders its OK at best. Vanish is wirey and chunks or frays easily when cinching down even a well lubed knot.

Defiantly the Blue Tirlene Ice...  I used this on one of my rods last year and it was Terrible.....

I take it your talking about the bright blue "Cold Weather" trilene as a bad line.

I thought I would man up and fork over so loot for the Trilene ice and man what a waste of money would have been better off with Kmart brand.....

Hey I use K-mart brand on all my poles (not really, but I did when I first started... caught plenty of fish, but I've since grown up)

The absolute Worst line I've ever used is All the factory spooled line that comes pre-spooled on a lot of the rod/reel combos.  Even the more expensive ugly stick combo I got had horible factory line.  rip it all off from day 1 and you'll save yourself so much hassle.

Whatever the guys next to me are using, looks like frozen rope or stretched out Slinkies most or the time.

agreed, I would perfer my reels to come empty as it saves me the time of having to remove all the crap line they spooled up

 same for me here!

[Sven936]

Power Pro Ice for me.  It kept getting tangled on my reels and it did not like the cold.

[Skipper]

Vanish is my nemisis!

I tried it once, shame on them!

I have been watching this thread all day and have decided that maybe I'm not quite as dumb as I thought.  The last couple of years I have been using "Stren Original" and have no complaints.  I haven't gotten to fish as much as I would like so I don't have a great deal of experience with it yet.  It probably isn't the best but it seems to be working.
