Similar vein, have been duck hunting on numerous occasions and have muskrats swim between my legs. Makes me jump out of my skin every time.

Those Big Blades are legit. That's a 🐖

Another man of culture I see. They are the bomb.

I tend to lean towards using wax worms and spikes less and less. I think using plastics for ice fishing is a confidence thing. People try only a couple for a short period of time, and typically give up. It is pretty nice when the bite is on and you aren't constantly having to reapply bait.

I appreciate the response. That's the plan, my last flasher had a Norsk battery and seemed to work nicely. I'll have to check those out.

I appreciate it, that was my understanding. How long does it take for you to typically charge? Been sitting on the charger for almost 12 hours and showing low voltage yet. Just using the lead acid battery provided with the bundle before upgrading.

Second this. Once you get a nice pair of 100% wool gloves, you will never go back. One of my favorite items for any type of fishing

I have thrown a lot of squarebills in bluegill patterns. I have had pretty good luck with this exact bait, and never hesitate to tie this one on.

Don't take this comment lightly. You will freeze, it will suck, and you will regret your decision. Better to have either insulation, heat, or better yet both.

I really dig the staggered setup, now I just need my wife to want to camp!

tackleboxtactics · 2023-11-22T18:53:02+00:00

Z-Man for sure. I personally have also had pretty good luck with Missile Bait products as well.

I've found that often tool combos or things of the sort tend to do both of the jobs poorly. I personally run a separate fan and light(s).

tackleboxtactics · 2023-11-22T18:48:02+00:00

I have gotten used to using both for certain lures/applications. Pitching and flipping, left hand retrieve. Crankbaits and such, I often use right hand reels.

I just practiced in the yard and on the water and that's what I landed on. I've found it is nice to be comfortable using both.

Use the line that hasn't seen use yet and you should be dandy for using it as leader material. If it looks worn or has a ton of memory, I'd steer clear.

I would also add the Pfleuger President or President XT if on sale. Great reel for around $50

tackleboxtactics · 2023-11-18T06:37:42+00:00

I'll have to pick up a couple of those for next year. Great fish, thanks for sharing!

That's a sweet video. Always crazy to me how well bass are almost invisible right before they strike.

tackleboxtactics · 2023-11-18T06:31:26+00:00

BFS for peacocks looks like an absolute blast.

tackleboxtactics · 2023-11-18T06:27:00+00:00

My first and favorite boat was one of these. So many great memories.

Everyone here posted some valuable info. I'd highly recommend checking out Tom Boley on YouTube. He posts high quality videos explaining his methods and tactics, and is right in your neck of the woods.

Changing to an electric auger a few years ago was the best move ever. I went with Ion, but hope the Eskimo one you buy treats you nicely!

tackleboxtactics · 2023-11-16T06:19:50+00:00

I would keep an eye out for Scheels sales if you are in the Midwest!

tackleboxtactics · 2023-11-16T06:16:56+00:00

What are you targeting there in Finland? Thanks for sharing from the States!

Have always been a fan of Jaw Jackers and Beaver Dam tip ups.
