I have used them a lot. I bought the smallest size and use them on walleye jigs and crappie jigs. If you are going to use a very small tail on your jigs you might have to take a wire nippers and cut...

I paint a lot of orange jigs and this is what I've seen some times when I first tried it. Make sure you powder paint a white under coat before the orange coat. The darker orange could be from 2...

Good job and keep them coming !!!! STEVE

Use a lot of 1/32 and 1/64.. I just like to fish a light jig. STEVE

Great Vid....I also fish with that bait and can't believe the fish you can fish on it. Steve

All areas North, South, East our West seem to have a differant opp. on live bait our plastics. I have tried a lot of the gulp minnows for gills and crappies in early summer to late fall and have had...

All good ideas given above. Our crappies right now are moving very shallow under the ice from deep water. A flasher a lot of the times won't pick the fish up just under the ice. If you don't have a...

I know the feeling. What a bummer !! I will put the ice rods away in the morning. Have a good summer. STEVE

Go out when ever you can and enjoy it to the fullest !!!!! STEVE

Went out and closed out my ice fishing for the year. The blue gills were biting really good though.A friend and I had two limits (25) apiece. Ice is getting real honey combed and is about 10 inches...

Try and get a few ice fishing jigs for bluegills. Sizes from 10 to 12 should get you started. Color and shapes are endless take your pick. Also get a few very small foam bobbers. HAVE FUN....STEVE

I would really check out the VERY shallow water near the deep water. Crappies and gills move very shallow in the mid day period to dark. Esp. on sunny afternoons they will go quite shallow under the...

Hello ....Down size your line to two lbs test at least. Try and leave some slush in the hole because they are looking up and can see movement real easy. Try one our two maggots on a size 12 rat fink....

My wife just shakes her head and gives me the dirty look. I've learn to not to explain anything. Just run run down stairs to the man cave and hope for the best !!!!!!! HA HA

Have fished that Lake for years and it is a panfish factory for sure.

X2......My heat gun comes with two diff. setting. Hot (300 ?) and I think around (7oo ?) for the high. I use only the hottest setting for everything from bass jigs to walleye jigs and crappie jigs....

Man a lot of good vibes on the good old days !!!! Remember wading out with my dad to catch gills for the first few years of training as my dad would say. HA HA Now being in my later years I also...

Boy someone dug deep to find this one. First off you have to ask your self what kind of water am I going to fish. A lake with very little current our a river ???? My brother and I ran 8oo hundred...

I have no trouble raising wax worms for fishing. But after they get so big does any one know how to make them go dormant so they quit eating and stop making wax tunnels ????? Thanks a head of time....

In WI. we a aloud 3 hooks in the water. That's any combo of 2 jigging rods and one tip up. STEVE

I have used the EC for about 30 trips now and like it a lot and is the best one that I have used as a inline reel. The only draw back with it is, if you like to lay the reel in the palm of your hand...

Hello ..... Give it a try but I would think in the end you will agree to stay with the K.I.S.S. method on gills. I bet in the end you will find out its to much work for the returns on your efforts. I...

Double uni for me also . But I have a couple of rods that I tie on the smallest split ring you can buy to the braid. Then my leader to that.That way you can brake off the short leader and tie just...

I have already made a comment on these types of reels. I have the EC and it is still working very well for me. Is it the answer to ice fishing reels, only time will tell. I have no money invested in...

Agree with all the above as well, have owned quite a few of those tools over the years. I bet the guy who invented these for surgery use would laugh now if he new what we use them for. Have a good...

Good catch.....Have been on the ice for a little while and catching mostly gills. Our crappie bite doesn't turn on until Feb. and goes until we don't dare go out anymore. So far our ice season has...

HA HA ...Man do you all bring back the old times for me also. What happened to the days all you needed was a ML spinning rod and 6lb. test mono with a white our chartr. twister tail. Caught all kinds...

Was a die hard bass fisherman for many years. Even fished a lot of tourn. and did quite well and proud of it. But since I've started crappie fishing about 5 years ago I have backed off of the bass...

HI CTOM Live just south of LX A few mi. We had about 12 to 14 inches of snow and it blew making a lot of drifts. Haven't gone out to check the river yet, don't no what kind of mess that will...

I just take a couple of my (bass) smaller bait cast reels and just add on top of the power pro 30 ft. of 4 our 6 lbs. high vis. mono. They have very smooth drags and saves me from buying more stuff....
