I need a shopping list! “5 must have ice lures”

I WON $57 AT FLEET FARM!!!! LOVE THAT STORE!! So now what are the 5 must have ice fishing lures I need for this year?

You’ll have better luck if you move this thread to the Ice Fishing forum. It’s where all of the cool kids hang out.

That said, here are the only 5 ice fishing lure’s you’ll ever need.

Ratso
Shrimpo
Jiggin Rap
Slender Spoon
#5 is a tie between the B-Fish-N blade and a buckshot

What species do you fish for most?

I have not done that much ice fishing in the past. I am semi retired now and started last year to get “STUF”. I bought a new 6X6 thermal pop up-used drill- under water camera- and set up my Lowrance LMS-520c for ice. But due to the warm winter last year I never drove out on the ice. I did fish Mille Lacs one week end last winter. That said, I fish for pan fish, bass, walleye and northens

Slender spoon
Diamond jig
Buckshot

pretty much my go to lures

If you are wondering what jigs guys are referring to…Here is a link to Custom Jigs & Spins to browse before you head into Mills Fleet…Congrats on winning…

I think Mills will be carrying the new Tungsten jigs if you are interested in any of those as well.

Custom Jigs & Spins.

Ratso
Diamond Jigs
Buckshot spoons

Pretty much the only lures I use

Silver Swedish Pimple (smallest size)
Double hook Marmasooka jig
Forage Minnow – works great on rattle reels

Any of the above for the other four, but don’t forget the Lil’Cecil

Man a flirty girty is hard to beat. Might be local jig though. the guy that invented it fishes Altoona….

I had a similar post a while back in the ice fishing forum. Looks like I’m going to be dropping money on tackle at the show this weekend!

Here is the link to that post:

A Cicada has to be in my top 5

Bass-oreno….. but they would be hard to fish through the ice.

Gramps

Lotta good recommendations.

There was a time I dropped at least $50 every year solely on new ice fishing baits. I should now photo and sepertately insure my icefishing lure collection.

I bring a small portion of it on the ice with me.

I know one guy who uses nothing but Jigging Raps for walleyes and Flirty Girtys for bluegills and crappies. He’s one of the better icefishermen I know.

I have over 100 jigging raps but I’m down to two #5s with the orange back. If I see any this late fall,I’ll pick up a few.

On the products listed, I don’t see and size or weight to qualify the products.

Can you be more specific for the purchase? I’m also gift shopping for a couple of extreme ice heads?

Cal hit the nail on the head with this post! Custom jigs and spins can’t be beat! Especially for the glow jigs, best ones out there IMO.

I won a $57 gift card too! I’ll probably be spending it the same way you do.
