Clam is a big sponsor of the league so we get a lot of freebies, line, jigs, plastics, etc... Most of the time they offer 2lb test, but I honestly do not like it, just to light IMP. I lost a couple nice fish with the line breaking. So when its time for the freebies, I grab the 3lb if they have it.
Most of my ice rods have spring bobbers, but I had a custom rod made last year and its so sensitive that no bobber is needed. Just watch the tip of it for movement. That thing is a blast to fish with and even a half lb sunfish feels massive. Funny thing was that big crappie I caught didnt fight at all and actually swap up to the hole so I thought it was a tiny sunfish.. Shocked the hell out me pulling it through a 6" hole and seeing that big mouth coming up!
