Choose the right line for ice fishing panfish this winter. Top line options for ice fishing panfish. Clam has developed some extremely high-quality fishing line designed for ice fishing. This video shows specific reasoning and applications for different line types and diameters.
In our opinion, the Frost 3-pound test monofilament is one of the best overall lines for ice fishing panfish and is very versatile for a wide range of presentations. We find the Frost mono is limber with little memory and little stretch and works excellent in cold temperatures. The three-pound test in particular fishes and feels very similar to two-pound test but is much stronger and more durable than one or two-pound test.
There are many panfish fisheries however that do seem to require one or two-pound test. Typically, where there is extremely clear water and higher fishing pressure or when some extreme finesse is necessary with jigs that fall on the smaller end of the size spectrum. Because one and two-pound test does break off much easier, we typically don't scale down unless we have to but there are times where you will catch more fish by going as light as you can.
We typically recommend Frost 4-pound mono for spoons and search baits, lures or jigs that fall on the large size of the lure presentation spectrum for panfish. We often use 2 or 4-pound Frost Fluorocarbon when fishing pencil reeds, weeds or wood as the Fluorocarbon does seem tougher than monofilament on that type of contact. Over extremely deep water like when we fish for jumbo perch over forty feet of water on Devils Lake, we like the no stretch characteristics of 4 or 6-pound Frost Braid.
