Need new ice fishing jig box...

Get one of Clam's Ice Armor Boxes for jigging spoons. For jigs, check out the Rose Creek Polar Ice Box. No more piles of tangled jigs with paint chips broken off. For darters, jigging rapalas, and other assorted gear, try some Today's Tackle Tackle Pouches to keep them from banging paint off each other. You can toss them into some tackle trays in a soft-sided box or whatever your fancy is.

Depending on what you carry for jigs and extraneous equipment a dry fly box will serve you well. For panfish dry fly boxes are awsome fo a person that fishes a little of this and a little of that you have to find a box that can accommadate all of the stuff you need to bring. I like the dry fly boxes because they keep all of my panfish jigs"up top" and available for me to choose from. No need to take a big tackle box on the lake if you have a clear idea of what you are after. I have one box, I believe it is an older plano style aluminum box that houses most of my panfish lures, plenty of smaller jigging spoons and some terminal tackle that fits in an oversized pocket that works for most lakes that I fish.

I might be a little anal, but here's what I did after untangling jigs. I took the plastic bait boxes tht fit in my soft side and pulled out all of the cross members. The tray is now as long as the box is wide. I then went to the office supply store and bought styrofoam and cut it to fit into each of the sections. I put my jigs in and hook them into the foam. Was a little bit of work but it works great. I did this almost 10 years ago and the styro is still holding up, no problems....Just a thought. Good project on a cold winter day when you're thinking about fishing. laugh

    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
