    2 or 4 lb Vanish is spooled on all my ice rods. Very happy with it.

    Pline is great stuff! I did try out a spool of two lb. Cortland in HI-VIS orange. Great for aging eyes while fishing low light and tying knots. Very supple with good knot strength

    I have to agree that p-line is a very good ice line. This year I tried the Asso brand of line and I’m very happy. The asso line is fairly expensive but well worth it. I tried the ice heavy in 3 lb brown in color and the 4 lb yellow. The line is flouro so it is really strong and yet invisible underwater. It also has a really small diameter but very easy to see. I will definitely be using the asso series next year.

    Don`t know about ice fishing but have used power pro ice line for open water fishing with temps down to 0 the last 2 winters with very good results ( 14 # test, 3# diametrer ).
    Only negative effect as far as I am concerned the blue color
    is a bear for line watching. Hardly any ice buildup pitching
    and fly line dressing took care of that.

    I might have to switch to this line…I’ve got two new rod/reels combos and I have one that line continuously gets knotted up… And don’t ya know it’s always…and I do mean always..when the bite it on.. ….

    Last year I tried cajun red 3# and still use it today. I also like calcutta 3# and I spooled one pole a week or so ago with trilene micro ice 3#. Truth of the matter to me is if the knot holds good and it stays straight I usually like it.
