Midcoast,

Anywhere that handles Lindy Tackle. There Rattl'n Flyer Spoon is probably one of their best selling ice lures. My favorite spoon for cat and eye fishing through the ice is the 1/8 or 3/16 oz in glow red or firetiger. The 1/16 oz size works great on crappies and perch. The finishes on these spoons is very, very tough.

Right from Lindy at Lindyfishingtackle.com

I have seen Rattl'n Flyer Spoon kits (the only way IMO to buy them) at Gander and other large sporting goods stores.

I have had great success with the Rattl'n Flyer spoon from Lake of the Woods for sager & walleye, to Mille Lacs jumbo perch, metro area lakes & crappies, to open water walleyes on Mississippi Pool 2.

Great lure smile

I have been doing very well on a Lindy Flyer in the Rainbow color on the St. Louis River. When the current is up I dont worry about tipping but when the current is light I downsize and tip it. Seems like I do get more bites when tipped.

I very much like the action as well. I have one on one of my laker rods, and when conditions lead me to downsize I throw an untipped rattlin flyer down the hole. I've caught a couple nice lakers on the 3/16 oz spoons so far (bubble gum pattern). Really a nice hooking lure, too.

Here's a 3 lber from a week or so ago.

Just curious Shack. For the river are you tipping them with minnows?? Gulp?? Getting to be time for a P4 excursion and might be the ticket for those sauger.

I have always tipped them with either a fathead, shiner, or crappie minnow in the past. This year I would love to try some med. leaches or even crawler hunks. Gulp is a great option also. I have plenty options in the Gulp category I would love to try.

I ran out of decent sized chubs the other night so I started tipping these Flyers with Gulp minnow heads and dang if I didnt catch a few walleyes like that. Funny how some times we are forced to try something new and it actually works.

Good to hear NL. smile Thanks for the feed back. I might just break out my Gulp for Mille Lacs this weekend.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
