i have a small shimano spinning reel, too.. with 8 lb , regular monofiliment line.. never had problems with either one, .. winter fished on the mississippi river, 30 ft deep.. the coldest i recall, was 9 above, with wind chill of 10 below.. the only problem i had was, the end line guide, would ice up.. a few taps, and ice would fall out.. caught lots of sauger.. a few walleyes... an occasional crappie..
