Okay, so I went all the way back to Bela's in Rogers and they had only 3 spools of 2# Gamma left. One of which had been opened.
So now that I've got 2# Gamma ESP and 2# P-line Flourice the difference are that Gamms is softer and more limp at room temp. I've already had the P-line on a spool so I went to unspool it and check for line memory. Just like your typical floro coated line, memory coils. Good thing about P-line is it is more limp than other floro coated lines.

That's the real beauty of the Gamma Polar Ice ESP, it is flexible in the cold.
Pure 100% fluorocarbon does not play well in the cold, just too densely made. Makes reasonable leeder material but you get better fluidity of lure action with the ESP.
Ed, Is the Gamma Ice and Pline ice going to be available at GM? I was in the local store and they told me that it was not available this year.

There was several spools of Gamma ESP at the Cabela's in Owatonna last week. I just happened to be passing by and stopped in on a hunch. Glad I did as it sounds like it is hard to find in the metro area.

Spent a weekend searching all over Rochester for Gamma ESP and struck out at GM, FF and [PoorWordUsage]'s. Finally just ordered some online at the Gamma website. I believe the price was 4.95-5.95 for a 110 yd spool plus s/k.
Not a too bad and it saves me a trip to Owatonna Cabela's.
just another option....

using both Floroice and Gamma, are you all changing your line annually or more often?
My mono just disintegrates by the end of season, but my fireline is still going strong a couple years on.
Where do these lines fall in this regard?

Chode,I would change my line annually like you state.. I even often change my line mid winter at times... I usually only put on about 50 yards per reel though... and yes super lines can be good for MANY seasons if taken care of.
