X3 what hunter said ... I was typing this response so I will post any way good luck..
I am not familiar with CF.. I set all my tip ups the same no matter where I go. I use nylon or dacron, dark colors, 20 - 30 lbs test on the spool.
Then depending on where I am fishing and what fish I target... I add the appropriate Leader, hook and bait. Walleye.. clear water.. live minnows, you might need 8 or 10 feet of 6 or 8 lb leader and a single hook.. change the leader often if catching walleye.
Northern..water off a little.. big bait... 5 or 6 feet of 20lb mono or steel for a leader, double Treble hooks.. usually works fine.
I am sure others will be able to help you more on specific water. I use as heavy as I can get by with,, but will build long light leaders if fish are negative..
This is what I do and have for years. I will be interested what other ideas there are .. hope this helps
