I like a NRX 901

I've never tried it, I usually run P-Line tcb 8 in 10lb on most my spinning rods. I did however seen some Spiderwire ultra cast 8 in 6lb test that looked and felt really good, I might try it out soon. Its starting to warm up a bit and the Ice will be gone soon I think, in a way it kinda sucks because I've been having a blast ice fishing...

Shimano or Daiwa would be my choice.

Almost anything will be better then "favorite" LOL Gloomis St Croix Megabass Dobyns Shimano Daiwa Kistler Phenix I pretty much use Gloomis, Megabass and St Croix the most.

this offends me. LOL

I hold mine like this guy and sometimes like Aaron Martins So I think a lot of the balance depends on how you hold your combo.

What power pro did you use? I've used the Sunline Asegai braid and its a thinner line when comparing lb strength to PPV2. I usually put on .006 on my spinning reels, sunlines .006 is closer to actual spec vs PPV2 .006

I have a H3 medium light spinning rod, its a nice rod and I love the NFC blank, it would be such a nice build with fuji guides and a different reel seat. IMO the NFC blank is as sensative as a GLX.

I use the 1000 size for ice fishing, but I have used the 1000 size in open water and it works fine. I do prefer the 2500 shimano and 3000 size daiwa reels the most.

Shimano Aldebaran or a Shimano Stradic CI4+ 1000 that is what I use the most. But here is a best inline that I have seen https://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-reel-black-sea-bream-raft-19-Seihakou-SP-RC83-Red-RIGHT/254399121024?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

Got a new case for ice fishing, orvis safe passage carry it all. I could carry up to 4-5 rods if I change the configuration :big grin:

Like others have said they all fade to white, but even after they do fade they are very visible.

The TCB 8 keeps its color better over the Sufix IMO. I prefer the P-line.

Not sure on a rod yet. But I might pick up a 1000 size also to use for ice fishing...

I got the new FL, its a sweet reel and the best stradic out so far IMO.

My most used spinning rods are 7'6" and my longestand most used baitcasters are 7' to 7'1"

I like cork, full or split. I do however like how a full grip looks. Use U-40 on all my rods and they stay nice and easy to clean. The only rod I have with EVA is my TUCR Bullwhip, Its a sweet rod for ice fishing.

Gliss and nonofil are the smoothest I've ever seen, but I don't use them because tying a FG knot with these lines is a pain in the ass. Pline TCB8, PP SSV2, Sunline Xplasma and Seaguar smackdown are the braids I use most with excellent success.

I have a 301e I use for muskie fishing, if I'm correct its the last Curado series that was made in Japan..

I like both, I do however like how a full grip looks myself but that's not a deciding factor when I purchase a rod.

I would choose the Bantam. Nuff said
