The Outdoor Pro Series Flutter jigs are becoming one of my favorite panfish lures. They seem to attract better AND trigger the bite a bit better as well.

I still have a soft spot for JB Lures Ju Ju as well as the tried and true Go Devil.

I'm also going to have to check out that Lindy Flyer. Seems like it might be a pretty good search lure as well.

I agree with these triggering the bite! I fish on a small lake for rainbows, and they will absolutely NOT bite on anything unless it has the fluttering blades. I have tried everything and now only put these down the hole when I am on that lake!

This "style" of ice jig has actually been a secret weapon of mine for the last 3 years or so. There are a few other companies that have made a similar jig with the little flutter blades on them for awhile and I've used them extensively for panfish.

I have a little panfish honey hole that has really stained pea soup water clarity to it and a flutter style jig like this is my go-to on that lake, in white glow color. I've also had no problem on clear water lakes as well.

Its a great lure style and I like to tip mine with a couple eurolarvae fished under my St Croix Legend spring bobber.

Last year at a GTG airjer gave me one of these jigs. The next day I took it down to a small lake close to home just to get out for the day not thinking I would get much. SO I tied on the flutter jig let it down the collum and and slam!!! For three straight hours I hooked into the biggest gills I have ever seen come out of a lake in my life! I have not been fishing for long but it was the best day I ever had on the ice. These jigs work so well, if there are fish in the area you will catch them with this jig! Thanks again airjer.

My kids got a ton of the Outdoor Pro Store jigs at the Kids FM Get Together last year and well, Dad used some fishing afterwards grin.

There was one jig (I forget and will look into it) that took precedence over my Ratzo and hair jigs.

The Outdoor Pro Store has many other good jigs also wink!

Matt Johnson at T-bro's a couple weeks back was using this same style flutter jig during a demonstration at one of their seminars. He had a great tip also. To maximize perfecting the action of this flutter jig, fill a large glass vase or a clear plastic bucket and jig while you are sitting in your arm chair at home. You can watch how different wrist movements cause different actions with this jig. Sounds funny, but I have been doing it and learning new tricks and techniques for when I hit the ice wink.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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

      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.
