I use 25 lb. braided dacron, but most ice fishing lines are a braided line of some sort.
The main problem with line tangle is that the line is wet and can freeze to the ice surface, or even itself on cold days, and when pulling in a fish, try to keep the line in one area.
If you start walking around a hole while pulling in line, you are almost guaranteed to have a tangle.
Also, when done unhooking the fish, put the line back in the water, preferrebly rebaited, and you can uncoil the coils you created when pullin the line in.

Basically you are retracing you steps.

I am a legend in my own mind!
