About $5… Most of which is a marketing scheme.
Dont use strait Florocarbon, alot of memory when cold.
Trilene sensation or XL, p-line copoly or gamma are some of my favs for winter mono. They can a are used all year.January 10, 2013 at 1:17 am #1128830Packaging and 3$ for half as much line! It’s just a a marketing gimmick!

I normally use Pline which I love but this was free from the Ice Fishing Show so I decided to give it a try. Never again, P-line from here on.
January 11, 2013 at 9:47 pm #1129692The first time I used Trilen Microice line on openwater spring fishing…It was wow! So much less ice build up. Since then I’ve found that selectively, an ice line can be a better performer than your typical fishing line. Then again, marketing gimmick can play a lot into that. Repackaged line as ice line. If it’s the same line, buy the bigger spool.
January 12, 2013 at 12:18 pm #1129810I really lindy ice line. And if you order off there web sit it’s not bad $.
January 12, 2013 at 1:10 pm #1129819i love northland products, but i have terrible luck with their ice line outside the shack. ices up too easily for me. micro ice line by trilene is my favorite so far, gonna try p-line soon……
bromanPosts: 235January 12, 2013 at 2:38 pm #1129834While I love P-Line, it will ice up when fishing outside. But it’s strong and has little memory so I can deal with a little icing.
January 12, 2013 at 4:04 pm #1129854I used sufix ice magic mono last year for bluegill fishing in open water, I loved it. So this year I used it through the ice, my new favorite line. 3lb fishes like 2lb and is very strong. It has less memory than trilene micro ice (which isnt much!) and is very sensitive.
I use 3lb and 2lb.
I am going to use it all year around now.

January 14, 2013 at 6:20 pm #1130599I really like the “blue” ice line, I think it is called Micro ice. I can see the blue really well and with my OLD man eyes that helps. It also stays more flexible than some of the regular line.

Blue would be trilene cold weather.
If you want something easy to see, you can now get trilene micro ice (a better line than cold weather) in the solar color which is a bright green.
January 14, 2013 at 9:11 pm #1130668x2 with the Trilene Micro Ice (bright green). Do they sell this in larger spools?
