ice fishin lures

well since this is a hot topic and i'm a rookie, let the suggestions fly, do small baits like roadrunners and small jiggin spoons work, cause right now thats all i have

I like little crallie jigs. You don't have to be fancy either, you can use the little jigs that come in the packs from wal-mart and just tip them with waxies

Yes they'll work just fine also jigs and blades like vibes .

SMALL and SLOW

get the smallest hook you can find talkin like size 12 or 14 you can't go to small IMO

for eyes ya need jiggin spoons and vibees

thanks, i'll get a few from wally world

Jim what do you plan on fishing for?

I can get you hooked up with an awesome bluegill/cappie pole from BPS

what ever u guys fish for, prolly gills and crappies. just lookin for some good company more than anything

jonny let me know how much, rogue also said he could hook me up to.

25 bucks best gill pole you can get anymore, softest bites are where its at

get the 36inch HH for the most sensitivity

Saugeye that combo deal jonny has there is as good as it gets it comes with jigs and all . On a side note the in-laws came over yesterday so I left before they got here and went down to deercreek . I had equipment failure so no fish was caught but about 10' out in the water was a piece of tyvek and some wood nailed together , I waded out and pulled it in and it had about $50 worth of vibes and cranks and dearies on it . Marry X-mus to me .

Sounds good

Better than fish lol

can't beat that ,50 bucks of freebies

saugeye1 hey check with your local gander mountain stores... they carry a small section of ice fishing equipment including sleds/shanties and gear and usually have decent combo packs for less that $30 or you can mix and make your own combo... they have stuff from frabil, gander brand, HT, HH, and others to mention... and have a nice little variety of jigs, spoons, and lures...

best place to begin with ice fishing is with panfish... because ice fishing gear can get very expensive very quickly!!! I just spent $28 on three lures and some line the other day but a good sensitive rod and a small reel will work perfect for panfish... I suggest getting an ultra light rod that has a spring bobber attached to it... best way to pick up on the finicky biters!!! And once you get the hang of it you can move up to say eye fishing which is another ball game all together through the ice!!!

thanks guys, i think i'll prolly order the combo jonny suggested. we better get together for the ice fishin outing, because i have no one else to icefish with, would hate to sell not long after i by it lol

Saugeye your welcome to go with me ice fishing when ever you want , But you won't need me once you bring some fish thru the hole you'll be hooked . Still always welcome .

I'm tellin ya Jim you can't find a better gill pole than that one

Looked all over and now I have two of em!!!

For jigs I use Little Atom and Fiska's both can be found on line at yourbobbersdown.com

Just about any combo you buy will have some not so choice line if you go that route, replace with some new line. I like P line CXX 2 & 4 test.

I like the suffix ice line... and hey, those fiska jigs are really nice. Fished one last year that it cuts right down through the water... plus they're tungsten so they're small for their weight. The waxies/spikes really stand out as a result.

Not cheap, but if you want to try something that will make you more confident.... try them.

Good Icein'

ratherbe

sounds good, gonna try and order the combo this weekend

jerry u need to hit oo ice outing with us at indian
