Diameter chart, reel capacity & backing guide
Reaction's dedicated Ice Fishing Braid uses eight PE strands and a manufacturer-described water-repelling coating. The checked Ice Camo 4, 6, 8 and 10 lb variants each supply 150 yards. Standard 4-strand and ordinary X8 braid are separate products.
Ice Braid is intended for ice-fishing presentations, where working length starts with fishing depth and expected runs instead of casting distance. The coating is the manufacturer's water-repelling claim, not a guarantee against icing. Use a reel or tip-up suited to the technique and conditions; the sample spinning reel below only illustrates line volume.
Dedicated Ice Fishing Braided Line 8 Strand, Ice Camo, 4-10 lb and 150 yards. Example reel demonstrates volume only; fishing depth and actual ice-tackle suitability must be chosen separately.
| Strength | Inches | mm | Spools (yd) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 lb | 0.003937 | 0.100 | 150 |
| 6 lb | 0.005512 | 0.140 | 150 |
| 8 lb | 0.007087 | 0.180 | 150 |
| 10 lb | 0.007874 | 0.200 | 150 |
Choose test for the target fish, depth and terminal rig. The checked 4 lb is 0.10 mm, while 10 lb is 0.20 mm; these are not the standard four-strand braid sizes.
Keep enough line beyond the fishing depth for fish runs, damaged sections and retying. Divide the 150-yard supply across reels only after choosing those working lengths.
A coating cannot guarantee ice-free guides or line. Inspect the line and tackle as conditions change, and do not interpret a generic reel-capacity result as ice-tackle approval.
This is a source-based specification and setup guide, not a hands-on review or comparative performance test.
Choose working length from depth plus expected runs and reserve. A 150-yard supply package does not tell you how deep to fish or how much an ice reel holds.
When using a spinning reel, backing can occupy room beneath the chosen working braid. For a tip-up, follow that device's own line and capacity guidance.
A separately chosen leader may be useful for the presentation. The leader goes ahead of Ice Braid, not underneath it as backing.
No. It is the dedicated Ice Fishing Braided Line with its own diameter list and coating description.
Will the coating stop all icing?No such guarantee is made here. Reaction describes water-repelling properties, but conditions, guides and line handling still matter.
Why show a spinning reel example?It is a capacity demonstration using an existing real reel record, not a recommendation to use that reel for every ice-fishing setup.
Is 150 yards one leader?No. It is the braid package length. Choose depth reserve and any separate terminal leader length independently.
Checked September 13, 2026 against the official product information linked below. Official Ice Braid mm values are used; inches are converted. Standard braid or PE-index diameter estimates are not substituted. Offered specifications do not establish current stock; this is not an independent diameter measurement.
Calculations use the catalog's listed inch diameters. Published inch and millimeter values may differ slightly because of rounding.
