What Ice Line to use?

  I want to put new ice line on my rods and with so many types out there I dont know what to buy. I need to install line on my walleye rod and my panfish rigs. Has anyone used the new braided ice lines and what kinds?

    I love Trilene 4 lb. MicroIce for any panfish.

    I've been getting emails from Rapala they are advertising a new line for ice fishing it's called Sufix 832 Advanced Ice Fishing Braid. Their claiming low stretch, very thin diameter, and doesn't freeze up. I'll probably give it a try for the Pymy crappies, that's if we get ice.....

    I'm going to try Northland Bionic Ice this year for panfish. I heard a lot of good reviews and I was able to pick up some at a good price.

    I heard that Cajun Red in 3# is the best. I haven't used it, but I think I'm going to try it. I do a lot of night fishing with an underwater green light. I'm not sure if the Red line will be invisible with green light though.

    Thanks fellas for your insight. I want to try a braid style line and that berkly nanofill sounds interesting but sure is expensive.

    Bought the 2lb fireline ice braid last year and was pretty happy with it.  Couldn't find it in the 2lb yesterday, so I decided to try out the bionic ice in 2lb, and sufix ice fuse in 4lb.  Checked out the nanofil and almost bought it until I looked at the price
