has session on the kelp beds yesterday . was using red ice 25lb straight thru and 10lb rotten bottoms...found that the 25 lb mainline kept snapping and was only first sesh on the kelps on a slosh30. on the other hand when using 15lb line shockleader etc iwas able to retrieve my rigs and sinker back no botha. anyone else had issues with red ice?.

I use it all the time with a 50lb leader never had a problem

I'd rather use red cotton on my reels than red ice, it's awful stuff. Do a search over on WSF tackle forum for red ice and you will see hundreds of threads like yours complaining about red ice snapping under hardly any pressure.

got it on my reel 25lb..aint had any problems takes a kanny pull before it breaks too

[Darnc]

Every thing gets slagged off on wsf it's an awful site

Hate the stuff, had the same problems with it snapping for no reason. Diawa sensor all the way for me!

I used 30lb Red Ice a few years back had one sesh with it on Cambois rocks and took it off my reel later and binned it, now i just stick to Seastrike or Greys Greylon 35lb straight through.

A youst to you's red ice and was pritty crap in my opinyaing now a youse line from chine beaing yousing same line for about 6 year now well not same line lmao same make ov line lol

[david.northeast]

I would never ever youse red ice its disgusting line snaps too easy basically what im sayin is that its bollocks

[RL83]

put some on my reels the other month first cast big fluff second cast the line just opened up on the reel there was line everywhere
at first i thought it was my fault then had the same reel out but with another
line on and youved guessed it cast no bother at all strange

[big phil 123]

how can you cast with 25 lb straight through? is that not snapping it? i wouldnt go less than 30 without a shocker, i like red ice every time i have used it its done the job

[gav123]

I have used red ice a few times it's the worst line I have ever used it snaps even when u tie the Bimini.nowt worse when u lose a cod half way in when the line snaps I use Diawa sensor or sufix tritanium

[topbanana]

Not very good line all red ice. I use 25lb sensor with a 70lb shocker or 30lb straight through.

[jamcod]

my thoughts use 30lb main line with 50lb leader joined with a binimi twist , plus i use 20lb weak link for sinker it gives you a chance to get ya sinker back iv,e had red ice on for a month now at first i thought i was to heavy i think 25lb mainline straight through is far to light for rock fishing the least nick and it will snap .jamcod

last time i had red ice i found it to be soft not ideal for heavy ground imo harder line better.
