What brand of line do you use? Not lb.test, but specific brand. I am looking for a low memory non braid line for pan fishing. I use trilene xl on my walleye and perch rods where I use heavier lures where line memory isn't a problem. I was thinking about trying pline ice line in 3 lb. test this year.

I use Trilene XL on walleye and perch rods also, but use 4 lb stren, green on my panfish rods, seems to blend in most pond water pretty good, just have to keep a loose drag for the uh oh big bass occasionally !!! Tried braid for ice and I need the stretch effect, lost too many fish on braid. Mike
PS, anyone wanting a road trip icin, Anchorage ,Alaska has fishable ice already, Colorado is about to begin :-\ :-\

I like the fluorocarbon Berkley ice line. It's a tiny bit stiffer than mono, but I get more bites due to the invisibility. You're looking for a panfish line and I know you said not looking for pound test, but anything over 2 pound and I've noticed decreased lure action on my tiny panfish jigs. (1/64 Oz and smaller)  The Berkley blue ice mono in the 1 and 2 pound sizes also works well for icing gills and crappie.

Toray was last years sponsor line and it is expensive. It is good line but They have had issues getting it into the country and we had to drop them as a sponsor.

I used the 3lb P Line last year for panfish and I loved it!

I use exactly what slabslayer does and have noticed the same results. I have caught some large fish and never had a break off.

Appreciate the info. I know whatever line I decide on will not be over 3 lb  test. Still thinking pline or a fluorocarbon.
