Rats, Demons, and other things after dark

Glow Demon and a wax worm are my #1 panfish killers!
Use the larger Demons for walleyes also.
Good LOWoods lure for wallyes, saugers and jumbo perch.
Now where can you purchase the Mega Glow Demons? Can't find them anywhere! mad.gif

The secrets out!
That's too bad for those waxie distributers. After using ratso's for the last couple years I must say, You can leave the bait at home when it comes to panfishing! The glow bodies are killer for panfish and the orange, black and silver sparkle, and pink and white are great choices. Dennis Steele might remember a fishing trip on Horseshoe last year when he caught all the cats, but I caught all the panfish. All thanks to those ratsos! I just wish I could but bulk tails in a particular size and color.

Custom Jigs and spins is one of the best icefishing tackle companies I know of. Their Demons are my favorite walleye and crappie lures and when the crappie bite slows down I switch to a Shrimpo with a wax worm.

I agree the Demon has been a reliable crappie lure for years. Hit the glow version with a light they call a Nuclear Flash and you can see the thing glowing 10 feet down. I got a Nuclear Flash last week and I believe it helped me convert lookers into biters. It worked well on the Shrimp O too.

Fellow ice fishing fanatics,

I just wanted to point out a new sponsor on FishingMinnesota.com, Custom Jigs and Spins.

I know most of you are all familiar with their products. Who here doesn't own a Demon or 20? I'm guessig most of us agree a glow Demon with a small minnow after dark is a crappie slayer. I can't tell you how long that has been a stand-by for me. Seems like forever. And, who hasn't salvaged a finicky sunfish bite by tieing on a horizontal hanging Rat Finkee with one Euro tipping it. I remember days on Osakis where that bait has been my savior.

Their baits have stood the test of time in my tackle box. Excellent hooks, great colors, great glow patterns, and they catch fish. What more could you ask for?

I was very excited to see their banner appear today. They'll make FM.com a better place. Don't be shy to welcome them aboard.

I remember that trip where eyeballs spanked me with the Ratso's.I was fishing with waxies on what I thought was a great little panfish jig.I think I caught one or two while eyeballs and the Ratso's alone caught the rest.I ran out the next day and bought a bunch!!

ANY lure by Custom Jigs and Spins is the bomb!!

Like Ray, the Finke and Demon have been my go-to baits. Recently I have been using the Ratsos for open water gills and crappie...DEADLY!!

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
