Thanks for the insight and different perspectives. I went out Saturday and tried the triple surgeons knot (which I completely forgot about from my fly fishing days.) and it worked great, granted I was only catching crappie. I'm typically targeting panfish with the occasional trout catch. I do think I will be spooling up another rod with just 4-6lb flouro. I definitely ran into the issues with the braid freezing. It also didn't seem to drop as smoothly as the straight flouro. I didn't really consider some of the thoughts you guys shared, so thank you all.
