Default Re: Ice rod set up???

After fishing through the polar vortex w/regular 15# spectra freezing up on me, i got a hold of some PowerPro Ice-tec on sale from Cabellas. I set up my 2 rods with 5Lb and 8Lb. They came in 50 yd. spools so i had to do some guestimating on how much mono backing needed to load my reel before topping it off with the Ice-Tec until my spools were at full capacity. I tie a tiny barrel swivel to the business end then a fluoro leader. All I've jigged up during my last 2 outings were perch and pans but it's been way better then my old set up.
