[QUOTE="MuskyManiac, post: 288382, member: 381"] You pussy, Tom, look at you back-peddle, haha!!! I do have to say the 28 is far superior as far as being able to see if you do a lot of fishing outside, especially if it's real sunny. My old 20 is junk for outside. In that respect I wish I would have kept the 18. But the shield on the 18 cuts off your view if you're not looking at it perfectly straight, and if it's snowing outside it gets filled with snow. The lens cover would probably take care of that though. As far as ice fishing line, unless your fishing a lot of panfish I just don't like the stretch of the mono. Superline with a swivel and a fluorocarbon leader is the shit IMO. No stretch, much more abrasion resistant, and with the swivel you have a real good idea when the fish is close to the bottom of the hole and you don't get your lure spinning in front of the fish because of line twist, which can be real helpful when the fish are in a negative mood. Plus fluoro is basically invisible underwater. [/QUOTE]
