apegs Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I consider my ice fishing knowledge pretty limited so this might be a dumb question. I was just wondering if any body uses soft plastics for fishing in the winter time like a plastic worm or something like that? Organizing some jigs for a mill lacs trip and was sorting through my plastics when I thought about this. I picked up some fin tech knuckleball jigs from the ice show that are pretty cool. Wondering if attatching a plastic worm on there would get any bites for ice fishing or any set up kind of like I mentioned. I've only ever used jigs befor with a minnow or some waxxies on there.

Craigums Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 There are probably better options than a plastic worm. These are some of the more common plastics used for ice fishing. Plastics are used more so for panfish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 last week I use gulp smelt falvor, just took off the split tail and hooked it on and jigged it caught a lot of panfish and perch. I also cut the rest of the body into 1-1 1/2 inch strips so they go alot farther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigums Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I also found these on the internet. Look like they may work for some walleyes or crappies, Ive never tried them though. If im fishing walleyes I usually feel more confident with some sort or meat on my hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchJerker Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I use plastics a lot for panfish, usually using the plastic in place of bait like waxies or euros.I don't really use plastics for walleyes, I usually use a jigging spoon with a minnow head -- that's my favorite walleye bait. Next favorite is a whole minnow on a deadstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
