Favorite ice fishing lures??

[NorthAMfishing]

I want to know what you use for ice fishing? I am always hard at work to bring you something new, unique or hard to find. This season I want to launch a line of ice fishing products and I would love to hear your feedback on current products on the market. My business model has always been listening to our loyal customers. Is there anything you would like to see with a NorthAMfishing brand on it? Thank you.

Jigging spoons for walleye indeed!! Swedish Pimples BY FAR have been my best producer for big walleye for the last 2 winters and I even jig them in the spring and fall with success. I have a collection of various sizes and colors but the size 7 fluorescent orange and size 7 blue have gotten me the most big walleye. Size 5 in chartreuse is a good numbers lure.

Other than that, jig heads and buckshots have gotten me a fair share of walleye.

For any trout, I like either a #40 williams wabler with a scaled metallic finish, a little cleo, or a small Mepps Aglia tipped with a small minnow.

Best by far a Little Cleo in a blue/silver wrinkle finish at 1/2 ounce. Remove the treble and add a single hook!

I'll have to copy what FISHHIT says. Silver/blue Cleo with pimpled texture.
That and a red/silver short alligator spoon tipped with minnow or leech or dough bait.

I usually copy whatever Yannick has at the end of his line so my winter box has it's share of sweedish pimples

I've always hoped to do better on jigging raps. we'll see this winter.

how about a something that can cover the same circumferential area as a jiggin rap but has the a tight wobble on decent like a chubby darter

The problem with the Ottawa River is the current. Alot of the jiggable lures just get caught up in the current and you end up fishing at 45degrees. If you want a lure for rivers, it has to be something pretty solid, flat spoons like wablers or cleos end up going sideways in the hole. Hence, my preference for pimples given I ice fish the ottawa 75% of the time and the Nation the other 25%.

For me it have to be the Northland buckshot spoon. I caught my share of walleyes, pike, perch and crappy. I like the rainbow color, the white and orange and the chartreuse one.

The Buckshot is my go to lure. I always have one on one of my setups.

Rattlesnakies and Buckshots...

My favorite go-to lure is the Rapala Jigginrap ... deadly lure with great feel and easy to spot on my X5 and just the feeling of constantly having contact with the lure is great... no mushy feeling just goood contact. I have found that you have to try different colors though and sometimes it takes forever to sort that out.

In my opinion the next great ice fishing lure will be whoever can develop a good flutter spoon. Something that really slowly flutters back to a rest will trigger big fish that are spooked by other stuff... the closest thing I have found to this effect is the Crocodile and Mooselook lures.

Make a great flutter spoon. Let me know if you want me to test it.
