Allow me to amplify a bit.
I had never realized how "springy" mono on a spinning reel was when ice fishing until I went to an inline reel with special ice line. I swear, regular mono in cold water is like fishing with a Slinky toy for line. Those spirals in the line amount to several inches of stretch. Feel a light bite through that? Ha!
Get an inline, spool it with specially-formulated ice line (use some regular mono as backing if you like) and see for yourself.
