cbfishalot Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Is there any effect on fluorocarbon line when the weather is cold? I'm talking about temp. in the 30's to 40's. Quote
The_Natural Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I definitely think so, being a more dense line. I purchased some Inviz-X just for the first month or so of fishing, when the water temps are in the 40's. The Inviz-X stretches quite a bit more than the Vanish fluorocarbon I normally use, and should work well. Breakage may not even be an issue; I'm just taking precautions. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 18, 2007 Super User Posted January 18, 2007 Mostly it's about memory. Many lines, especially pure fluorocarbons, copolymers and thick monofilaments, become slinkys in cold weather. Quote

HPBB Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Lighter lines, trilene made a cold weather line, not sure if they still do use braid, temp has no efect on it Quote
Super User T-rig Posted January 18, 2007 Super User Posted January 18, 2007 Cold weather does affect braid. I was fishing in the low thirtes and my braid actually froze making it stiff like wire. I had to switch to mono that day. Quote
tipptruck1 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Due to me growing up wisconsin iam around ice fisherman. I have never heard any thing bad about braid in ice. Some guys use it and swear by it. I have never had braid freeze on me but iam useing power pro. I have also heard a lot of good things with fluro and ice fishing. Quote
