I see, who pulls the sled around there........
Hello I live in Michigans Upper Peninsula and fish lake trout threw the ice on Lake Superior. My question is what do you use to catch your lakers? we use lead jig with cut bait on them, bouncing them right on bottom. Just wondering how everyone else does it. Thanks Rob
great video, Question what do you use as main line and leader. Looks like braided line and mono leader.
Thanks for the note - I have strung my reels with P-Line TCBX-braid 20lb test this year. Its a teflon coated braided line. I run a 2 foot leader of P-Line fluorocarbon 15 or 20 lb test at the end , connected by a barrel swivel.
since its teflon coated how does it do with outside temps. does it soak up much water?
I have had no noted issues in three outings with the new TCB - I used P-LIne Spectrex braid on tip-ups and reels prior to the new TCB coming out recently. Typically these lines are designed with traditional casting in mind. The teflon allows for smoother - longer casting and better abrasion resistance. I was thinking that it might work well with iced up line guides and sharp edges present on the underside of an ice hole. I just spooled it on in December. The line has a small diameter thanI amnormally using and flows between the line guides well (even when iced up) coldest I have been out with it is about -10. I have not seen any noticable difference with water saturation in either direction. I had good confidence and landed a nice laker using it on New Year's day. Liking the line and will know more how I feel about it, the more I use it. One thing is I hope they offer more colors later on. I have used several other brands of braided lines for deep water ice fishing, the line in the video from 2012 is a Trilene product called fireline crystal. I have also used straight mono lines.
does it absorb water and ice up?
