It works as well as eurolarva. I like it because it stays on the hook much longer than live bait and and you can catch a lot of fish before having to use a new piece. It is thin sliced pork rind or seal skin. I always keep some in my pocket when on the ice looking for panfish or perch.

I usually find it at Fleet Farm.

Well I tried it with better results than expected. Sunnies were really attracted to it, more than wax worms. When I put a new piece on the hook they wouldn't be too interested until it had a couple minutes to soften up and have a more natural action to it, then the bites were steady. Out-did wax worms, plus it lasts a long time on the hook.

I literally take torn of soft plastics, cut them into strips, and use them on small hooks to catch pannies, and use a fly rod to cast these weightless small strips of soft plastic.

Simple and dumb, but the fish eat it for some reason, probably the same reason some of my best "flies" are a bit of fuzz tied on to a hook with some thread

I have no doubt the chena bait will catch fish, and if it has any kind of scent then it may catch fish a little better than other options at times.

I have caught fish with the flying lure!!! I bought the gimmick and gave it a run for awhile...not a bad bait to hit the docks with as it will "fly" further under the dock and caught a bass or 2 and a couple northerns. Haven't used them in years but I do still have them!!

I just saw a youtube video on this a few minutes ago. I think it's funny how simple you can be to catch these fish! I'll have to try the bit of fuzz on a hook for fly fishing..been wondering what to tie lately, might as well go simple, eh?:P

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
