Quick take

A 50-yard spool of 20-pound black braided line designed for tip-up ice fishing with low memory and fast sinking speed.

Sufix Performance Tip-Up Ice Braid is a 20 lb braided line made for tip-ups in cold-weather ice fishing. It is braided from high-tenacity polyester, and a Hydro Fusion treatment is meant to help it sink quickly, shed memory on the spool and handle well in the cold. It comes on a 50-yard spool, a common choice for anglers running a few tip-ups through the winter.

Best for

Tip-up fishing through ice
Ice fishing presentations in sub-zero temperatures

Skip if

You fish open water; this is optimized for ice
You cast lures; tip-up line is stiff for casting

Strengths

Polyester braid maintains suppleness in freezing cold
Low memory reduces coil and tangles
Fast sinking keeps bait near bottom

Trade-offs

Braided line is more visible in clear ice
