Hey guys I would like info on some of your go to lures and colors. I have heard of the jigging demon spoons and marmooska lures, but when I look for them in stores or bait shops they are sold out. So I would like to get a jump on rigging up this year. The lures do not have to be the 2 kinds that I mentioned. Thanks In Adavanced!!

What are you mainly fishing for? This would help out a great deal.

If you like Panfish than I would get an assortment of Ratso's and Shrimpo's. I prefer the Ratso's because of their horizontal profile. Little Atom also makes a great assortment of lures. They also have soft plastics to tip on your jig. I have had great luck with the Nuggies.

Depending on what lakes you fish and what size fish are in there, I have been kicking some butt on Crappies and Sunfish on Power Minnows and Power Tubes. The profile and action are great and really draws in the bigger fish. Don't be supprised if you start catching Bass and Pike on these baits too.

For Walleyes, Perch, Pike and Crappies I really like the Go Devils. They vary in sizes but I tend to use the smaller ones more as I use them to search out active Crappies.

To better serve your Ice fishing needs check out Thorne Bros. They have a ton of Ice fishing goods in stock and the people who know how to use them. You could also get an autograph from Matt Johnson! grin.gif

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Good luck,

As Corey mentioned Go Devils are a good choice. If theres one lure I can't live without it would be the Scenic Tackle 1/16th ounce Perch Go Devil. Whether its summer or winter, walleye or crappies, I always have good success with this one!!

I recieved my first one at an Iceleader event on winnie a few years back. I landed my first Winnie walleye on it as well as my first Red Lake crappie. Since then I have caught countless fish on this lure. I always have a few spares on hand just in case!!

If you guys like Marmooska jigs, there is a world of similar jigs out there now in many different colors and sizes.

Little Atom makes the Optic Stealth Jigs.

Your Bobbers Down makes the Fiskas Wolfram Jigs

Custom Jigs & Spins has the Diamond Jigs.

Each company has different paint jobs, slightly different jig shapes, and different weights as well. The Wolfram jigs are tungsten so they can be smaller, yet still heavy. The common denominator is all these jigs are made to fish fast & deep while maintaining a small size. These are "must haves" when fishing panfish in those 30' holes!!

    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
