Ice Fishing Safety & Equipment - Ice fishing bait - Fluorescent lures

We have ice flies, which here are often times fluorescent colored and feathered, tied from different styles of yarn. Rudy, do you want to show a few of these? Sure. We have a few different variations of bibbits, having your different colors and designs depending on water color, different species of fish that you're going for. You can tip them with eyeballs, maggots, with meal worms. Some people even use minnows on those as well. We have smaller ones for the more finicky fish. You put those down there with a couple of little maggots on it and you give it that nice little teeter and it presents the bait real nice and the fish just slurp it right up. Then we have larger spoons for vertical jigging. Salmon, steelhead, the occasional walleye. Another variation and then we have some rubber or plastic worms that you can put on some of these as well that give you a nice presentation with the wiggle there. A lot of these also are scented or flavored. I don't know whether you've ever tried to keep a maggot warm on a cold day but I know that a lot of people up in the far north up here will tuck them in underneath their cheek right here. I don't know whether you're willing to demonstrate that or not today but it's one way of keeping them thawed. From the looks of these, I'm not going to put them in my mouth. You may if you like. I know my daughter has actually put these in her mouth before via Bradley's coaching. One of those things I do not recommend at home. So that pretty much covers your different types of bait. You've got both the live bait and the artificial.
