Three things about braid vs. mono.
1: With a small ice reel you can put 150yrds. of 6lb braided vs 75 of mono
2: You won't need a steel leader for the pike, they cannot bite you off.
3: If you fish deep like at spray there is no streach in braid where mono can streach 8ft. if you are fishing deep
So I only use braided. Cost more but worth the extra.
