Have you tried the power pro in freezing conditions? I'm not sure what braid I have on my noodle rod but I know it isn't power pro. I would like to find a braid that doesn't retain so much water in freezing conditions.

 

I fished and my eyes were freezing,it work good for me,i never fished in very cold,when line is freezing,older line soak more water,you would have to rub the line,with wax or lipstick,or you have to cary extra spool with mono,or spray that with winchiled viper fluid,

 

Windchiled viper fluid. From the artic viper snake?

What color lipstick works best for you?

 

wd-40 works on braid. First ingredient in wd-40 is fish oil . I used braided spiderwire all winter and it was good. Just wished they made spiderwire in fluorescent colors.The olive color blends into the water too much

 

I didn't know suffix made a mono line but they make a pretty good braid. if I'm using mono I like trilene xl the xl stands for extra limp. it is less stiff and has less memory than any other mono I have used.

Power Pro makes a Super Slick line that is bright green, might help with being able to see it. Berkley makes Fire Line in white too

Try 8lb Maxima Ultragreen, I like 6lb flouro leader Pline or Seagur

 

I'm using the pline hydra float. I love it. The line floats so it's easy to gain line back if you have slack in the line and a fish hits. Also a better drag free drift. Also it is yellow and easy to see. I would take a look at it. Fishusa $12.99 for a 150 yd spool.


Only problem is that u can't fish other ways with it only for float fishing.

Prefer mono when fishing rivers, especially when snagged. It's easier to break off and less chance of fouling up a hole.

Braid then a Fluro leader. That way you don't loose your float.

 

am I missing something here or is he asking about mono line??

That's the same reason I fish just a little heavier on the main vs the leader 8/6; 10/8 etc

 

I'm a big fan of the Sufix Siege line. Durable and gets the job done quite nicely. Always match your line/leader to your rod. That way you're not risking snapping a rod in half or something along those lines lol. +100 on having your leader at least 2lbs lighter than your main line.
