“Zero absorption” braids???

Anyone have opinions and experience with Fins or Frostbite braid? Both claim to be “zero water absorption” hence eliminating freeze up on line. Sounds great, but I am skeptical.

All the “ice braids” are zero absorption until they get wet and wound/unwound a few times… then it’s just braid.

I’ve gone back to old school regular mono for most my ice fishing now. I may still run braid for a hard bait inside the shack or outside for a few minutes when it’s cold. Besides that it’s whatever as long as it’s not too deep Of water or too cold.

Take that for what it’s worth.

Braid don’t freeze cause it’s absorbing water it freezes cuz it’s wet and instantly freezes in real cold temps. That and the water wicking off the eyelet.
I kind of like chewing ice off my line keeps me hydrated.
