>>1444694How deep? I've been using P-line for ice fishing, the flouroclear, coated copolymer. I fished for lakers in 40-50 fow, and I was able to feel my spoon crash down when jigging and I even felt a 15 inch laker bite all the way 40 feet down. I also use it in 4lb in like 18 fow for bass and bluegill and what not. I can feel even tiny bites. It does have a bit of stretch to it though.
I've never used braid before in my life though, and I am looking for one that doesnt ice up for hole hopping. I hear the braid is the most sensitive, and some people swear the ice braid that Berkley makes is really good. I don't have a shanty and I'm assuming neither do you since you want mono.
A word of advice for you if you decide to use any mono in cold weather, don't overspool it otherwise it seems to slinky off the spool and get inside the reel or cause knots that are near impossible to get out with the stiff carrots that your fingers turn into when they're cold.
