Use the old power pro off your surf reels. My bro loaded up all our tip ups with 50# power pro that was left on the reels from last season. Works great and the stuff lasts forever. We were using 12# trilene xl for leaders on the trout setups and 20# big game for the bass. Gami octopus and shiner hooks in 1,1/0, and 2/0 sizes. For ice fishing like what I do, its really tough to screw it up as many things work well.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

power pro is great until.... a big fish makes a run and slices your hand to the bone....I saw a guy get 9 stitches just that way ...
awesome pics BTW.. those smiles say it all!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Glad you posted that Joe. Most of the stuff I catch is under 3#, so I never really need to pay out line, but point well taken. I could see a big pike or salmon doing serious damage. |

something else I forgot to mention that i have been doing for 45+ years... i wrap upright with black electrical tape from the cross bar to a few inches or so above the spool.. reason being... the black absorbs any sunlight and keeps ice from forming on the wooden upright.. on those cloudy days, the ice easily slide off the tape with a getle tap of the ice or a slight wiggle of the up right.. with out it you have to contend with an ice ball... it's a trick i learnd from an old friend of my dads back when I was a young-in...it's served well...
