I use 10 to 14 lb. fireline with a 10 lb. fluorocarbon leader on my ice reels. Its worked well so far. As far a lures go i've had some decent luck with 1/2 & 3/4 oz. swedish pimples (in chartruse or green) with all 3 hooks on the treble tipped with 2" minnows. Have caught a few on 1/2 to 3/4 oz. blade baits and #7 and #9 jigging rapalas tipped with a minnow head. Good luck!
