I fish mostly panfish, i use braid(suffix or power pro) 6lbs for my spoon rods with a small barrel swivel and 4 lbs floro and a quick snap. It will freeze on really cold days, but i just slide the ice down the line or stay in the shanty. i would recommend the leader, especially for crappie, they can be gun shy sometimes with thick line.
