Fireline ice vs crystal

It wasn't easy to come across in the site but it turned up in a general web search. I just ordered 3 tubes (far and away best price) and enough Moonshine Minnows to get free shipping last night.

Thank you, yea I was looking for silicote but came up with oil not grease.

Size 10; smallest one they make but it’s still rated at 35 lbs. I landed an accidental 5 3/4 lb largemouth through the ice last year no problem.

The size 10 is small enough that it goes right through guides and onto the spool.

The only downfall is that they’re so small they’re hard to tie unless you use a palomar. Improved clinch not is all but impossible if you have big fingers.

These what you are talking about?

  Yup, I use these same ones for my steelhead setup in the rivers and my walleye casting setup on Erie, from mainline to leader.  Landed many fiesty 10+lb steelhead and walleye using these.  They're great.

I'm thinking of going with these and an 8ft fluro leader for pannies to reduce jig spinning.  What are you using for backing?

The Spro Power Swivels? Can't go wrong (just my opinion). I've got all my pannie reels spooled with 6# Nanofil. For me it doesn't ice any worse than mono but that me. I do notice that even though it still tend to pick up some twist that it doesn't seem to want to "untwist". I've even got a couple or setups with no swivel and they're fine.
