I use Frabill 30 pound test tip up line with a mono leader. The strength of the leader depending on what fish your going after.
What are ya tryin to catch?
i use HP in 30# test and put the whole 100 yds on the tip up
Cheap fly line (check-out a fly shop or the clearance bin at your local sporting goods store) works really nice with about five feet of an appropriate mono line (8-20 lb. test). The fly line is thicker, so it's easier than braided or coated lines at holding and applying subtle pressure differences with cold, wet fingers. Depending on what you're fishing for (walleye or bass), you might need a light touch and the fly line delivers, doesn't get tangled easily, and is easier to see against the ice and snow than most other lines.
