Are your ice fishing reels spooled with fluorocarbon line? If not, common sense and as important, “common science” says they ought to be. It used to be there were only two types of line ice angers would even consider: braided Dacron and monofilament. The former was used mostly on tip-ups or for jigging in extremely deep water, and the latter used for everything else. Now, many guys have switched to braided line instead of Dacron, but many of these guys quick to embrace the braid technology, continue to spool up with the same nylon mono they strung on their ice sticks 10 or 20 years ago.
