i use suffix high vis in the 4 lb range. look around on amazon for the best deal. be carful because suffix makes it in mono also. i use it on all my rods but where i fish its usually 20ft or less.

I need some braided line for two new tip ups and a small jigging reel. The tip ups will handle bass, pickerel, pike, musky, etc., you knew know. I jigging reel will handle the same. I'm not sure what to buy. Do they sell braided line for small jigging (spinning reels?

20180311- ice fishing was a big bust up here in the tundra of mid-Michigan... hadnt spent a dime of time out on the hard water.

if you were lucky enough to spend time out on the ice and luck enough to hook up with a bragger share your results on the bragger board.

as the ice slowly fades away i wish everyone luck and safe ventures this open water season!

Thanks Dick.

Its not hard but hope you have good eyes. You'll need some type of wheels to lay the rod blank on and spin. The finer thread you can used the better it will look but harder to see. The most important thing to remember keep the wraps close and not overlap them.
