Tough in the winter months to keep ice from forming. My guess is to apply your gunk before you start and re-apply when necessary.
I switch to 10lb mono with a 6lb leader when its too cold for braid. I start with the braid but if it freezes up I take a back up spool with the mono on it. I like braid too but in the winter It holds more water and tends to freeze way more faster on your eyelets. Mono wont hold as much water when reeling in and wont ice them up as fast.
You can try some chapstick on your line and eyelets , it helps the water to drip off easier and tends to ice up less frequent.
