Love all P-line so far But have not tried the ice stuff yet Its on my list
September 28, 2006 at 2:40 am #483546i suppose they dont break my seaguar off in the summer so they shouldnt break it in the winter
September 28, 2006 at 2:42 am #483549Blue Fleck got me hooked on the P-Line as well Never had a bite off from ice eyes. The line is really strong and stays limp in the cold
September 28, 2006 at 3:10 am #483560P-line makes about 20 different lines, Make sure its the Floroice..
September 28, 2006 at 11:48 am #483596DJ- Tried the P Line CX Premium clear last season #2 for perch and crappies, tough stuff. Liked it so much I purchased some #6 and #8 pd. test for walleyes. What’s the big difference between the flouroice and this stuff?
September 28, 2006 at 1:55 pm #483637I use Berkely Vanish because it is cheap and works as good as P-Line. Nothing against P-Line, just the price. Either way, you want to use flourocarbon
September 28, 2006 at 2:50 pm #483662Chad, I was going to give Transition a try also this year. If it works like I think it should, it could be the prefect ice line. I was a little dissapointed in the price the last time I checked. Has it gotten any better?
September 28, 2006 at 4:02 pm #483705Scott, unfortunately the price has not come down much (if any). If you give some a try this winter I’m sure you will be happy with the performance.
p.s…..I still use regular Vanish on my Ultra light set ups

September 28, 2006 at 9:49 pm #483833I know the question was about Walleye’s but I was interested in knowing if anyone has tried the P-Line in 2# for pannies? I’m ready to try something new for ice fishing line!

September 29, 2006 at 12:52 am #483868I haven’t used the P-Line 2#, but I have tried Dave Koonce’s 5mil sewing thread for panfish. That stuff is incredibly strong.
September 30, 2006 at 8:25 pm #484339I got some 2 lb P-line last year, and wound up spooling it on an ultralight this spring. The stuff is amazingly tough, and I really like the way it lays on the spool. I had never had good luck with any other 2 lb test line casting 64th and 80th oz jigs, but this stuff rocks! I liked it so much, I spooled up 2 extra spools w/6 lb for a couple of my rods this summer.
Mike, you’re right, I’m blind as a bat, and tying it(2 lb) is a challenge But it sure is tought to break, so don’t have to retie as often
