I can't wait for ice fishing either. I have not used all the lines mentioned here and I certainly don't want to ruffle any feathers, but I can tell you what I use.
I have used braided lines and mono lines while ice fishing. I use braided lines when I am in my ice house and mono lines when I am without my ice house. I have found that the braided lines tend to freeze up and are difficult to work with on the ice (unless it is a warm day).
I also get laughed off the ice for using a long pole. I really don't understand why. I can play the fish better, and pick up any slack faster with my trusty 6 foot pole. This is especially important when using mono line. It will have memory and that slack needs to be picked up.
Anyway, I would be interested if anyone knows of a braided line that does not freeze up.
