Tip-up Line
Message:
I recently got some new/used tip-ups and was wondering what people are using for line and their thoughts. I currently have used the black braided celsius and the tan colored vinyl coated line. I haven't been ice fishing long enough to notice which one might be better. I like the tan colored line just for the fact that I can see it in the water and know which direction the fish is running when the flag goes up.

I prefer the more visible lines myself. I use 30lb. fly line backing in either hi vis yellow or white. Had some black line on a few tip ups but, like you said, can't see which way the fish was running. No more black line for me.

I never thought about fly line but thats expected considering I don't fly fish. That being said I know know much about that kind of line, does it give you any problems at freezing temperatures?
