I love the line that came on my Indian Hills. It has a wax coating that sheds water and prevents the line from absorbing water. Doesnt sound like a big deal till u have a pig peel off 100yrds of line and your pulling it in and trying to manage it. The non wax stuff freezes, freezes to itself, freezes to the ice, makes a frozen pile of line next to your hole. Better hope that fish of a lifetime doesnt take a second run.
The wax coated stuff doesnt freeze up like that..
Also helps keep your hands drier as the line your pulling in isnt water logged and soaking your hands/gloves with ice water and freezing up.
