    I like trilene ice or stren ice. I use 2lb test to 6lb test. 2lb for gills and crappie and 6lb test for eyes.

    For my tip ups I used 20 or 30lb ice fishing braid,a barrel swivel & 6ft of 10lb flurocarbon leader. If I used a jig pole I used 10 lb flurocarbon. The braid will stand up rubbing on the bottom edge of the hole when playing a fish,doesn't tangle on the ice and you can tie a loose loop knot in it to mark your depth when you sound the hole. The 10lb fluoro was because I usually caught some pickerel (teeth). You could go lighter on the leader if you don't have the toothy critters. I used Vanish for the leader but any good Fluorocarbon would work. Any ice fishing braid is ok also. Shiners for bait.
