It's never occurred to me to grease the rings, something to be done in these freezing temperatures?
Glycerine is the usual suspect used to prevent icing.

l for a break a couple of times and the braid seemed to snap a lot easier than
Got to the bank of the River Rother(Sussex) after trudging through the snow around 6 am this morning. Being slightly mad made me thought I'll try this new Dave Harrell Pro float line. 5lb or 0.18mm whichever one you go by. Instead of trotting i though get the old Peacock quill out and do a bit of stretting. Hook and bait-wise, size 4 Drennan super specialist and thick toaty bread. In the 4 hour session, i had one 4ish pound Chub and 3 lost. By this time the flask had dried up and the cold was just getting to my nose.
Anyway back to this new DH pro float line. It is thinner than my usual Drennan float line DH pro 0.18, Drennan 0.20. It floated very well and it was still soft in the cold( it was -3) Seemed to have the same amount of stretch compaired to the Drennan. Can't dis of like it yet till ive used it a bit more. 1 good think it comes in 100 and 300m spools.
