Ice fishing line spinning on spool?

[zurevins]

Recently I have gone ice fishing using berkleys fire line on a metal spool. The reel works fine indoors and in the summer but once it is out in the cold the line seems to just spin on the spool without engaging the drag. My hypothesis is that due to the cold the metal contracts enough that the line becomes just loose enough to spin on the reel... Usually I have used ice fishing rigs with a plastic spool and have not had this problem. Has anyone else had experience with braided line or fire lines acting in this way metal spools during the winter? Is there a soulution?...or would mono line be a better option in this case? Any advise is welcome.
