Tica Cetus, Cardinal 100u, shimano seina and symetre and probably many more.  I use P-line fluro ice and always loved it, but today I had serious coiling issues with it.. Maybe since it's been on since March? ...  I think I am going to try Bionic Ice next.

I use fireline on my icefishing reels.  Usually 14 lb test.  Then I tie a 4-5 foot flourocarbon leader to that.  Usually 6 lb, but I also use 10 lb.

i use spider wire super mono or fireline crystal the spider wire super mono i use 4# for light tackle and use the fireline crystal for heavier set ups.  both have worked well for me.  as far as poles just go and buy a good combo from a sporting goods store.  if you spend about $40.00 you will get a nice pole with a real.  i really like some of the ugly ice reel/ rod combos i have bought because of there duribility.  if i get to light of a rod i always end up breaking the tip off.   :'(.  I do have my eyes on a bro's rod and reel combo at wholesale sports that looked really good.
