Would this line work for use on tip-ups for ice fishing northern pike?

If you want really thick line that only holds 45 pounds then sure. Better to stick with powerpro man. Made that same mistake

I dont have any experience ice fishing but I do know that it seems more like string or rope thanactual braided line.

Yes....You can use this line, just keep it from freezing because I don't know how this line would react on freezing water besides than comparing it from a natural mono filament line. I do know that this would handle a 50 LB. Northern Pike in your hook for sure.

No..i believe it would freeze..it needs to get wet to stretch so it would hold a knott...by that alone if water enters it it would freeze..they do sell line for ice fishing tho..

I use this line for jug lines. I don't think it would spool well on a reel.

Yes it would. Great combo. Used it a lot for sport fishing.And the price is right. Good luck!

I agree with the last response. This is very thick and difficult to use, yet very similar to fishing line which would be much less expensive.

I use a 10# fluke anchor on a 15' whaler type boat with very thin 1/8" nylon line. works great. Love it. But I am only on lakes . It's made to be use with line no larger than 1/2" . It's just a simple cam lock system like something used on a sailboat. It should work fine.

I have used it with braided line and it worked fine using 6 lbs. I just didn't need all the strength for what I fish for. With 10 lbs flora carbon I caught a 42" northern with this reel with no issues at all.

I just came back from Lake Erie, where these poles were used to troll for walleyes with planer boards. They worked excellent for my application, we pulled smithwick perfect 10's on in line boards. I was satisfied with how they preformed for me. Russ

It's designed to tie to your line and cast it out, buttttttt it has not worked past about 10 feet out for me and when I'm fishing with a bobber like this I cast out quite a ways, I have been using it with my small aluminum boat and it works fine.

I have never used them for fishing line.... I primarily use mine foe cutting Kanthal resistor heating wire as large as 22g so I would think there would be no problem cutting nylon fishing line.

I Have 100 lb Powerpro braid in it - I troll fro muskie. Works very well. Can't comment on how it handles other lines.

I use it for ice fishing and plan to hook it up to my trolling motor on my boat.

We used fishing line and push pins once and also used command strips. No problems with either.

It should be cuz you can set the baitrunner to how your pole is. I think you can use it on any pole if you set it right

I didn't own mine long enough to give a qualified answer, but any sectional poles (I use an ultra-light one for spin-casting) aren't really going to be well geared for really large fish. I picked this up to throw in the back of the truck as a basic utility rod to use on whims rather than specific fishing trips. I accidentally broke the tip off pulling it out of the car. I only broke about an inch off and picked up a new tip at Cabela's and glued it on and it was no worse for wear. I emailed the company to see if they could send me an extra tip or two and said I was more than happy to pay for it as I'm infamous for bonehead moves like that. They sent me an apologetic letter saying that they don't have separate parts but would see what they could do. A few days later a whole rod kit (two piece instead of a take down) showed up in the mail! A few weeks later my dad stumbled on a more expensive orvis take-down with a smaller tube case, so I sent the Crystal River take-down to a friend of mine in Ukraine who said she had never tried fly casting before and the smaller rod was cheaper to ship than a 2 piece. (it still cost me over $50 to ship, but she enjoyed the gift)

to be sure, I dont know, but it is a top quality hook-up hose. I dont think it is, or they could not sell it as a ice maker line

No, I don't think it will work in that manner. It is heavy steel and would wind up lying flat on the line.

I have been thinking of trying fishing line, but I'm interested if anyone else found a lanyard that works.
