    I have been trying to minimize the use of minnows. A lot of discussion lately about the go to lure. What is the “must” have plastics on the ice? A little something to spice up those “must” have lures.

    My favorites have been the wedge style in purple with gold flecks or black. CJ&S makes good plastics along with little atom and a lot of smaller places make excellent plastics too.

    There are a lot of good ice plastics out ther right now. One of my go to plastics are the Little Atoms. But someone Worth checking out is Crappie Tom on here. He hand pours some really nice stuff.

    I’ve got a wide array of plastics from Little Atoms to CJ&S to gulp. I find myself using the tails that come with the Ratso’s or sticking to the CJ&S more often than I do switching to the other stuff. I guess if you’re catching fish, why switch?

    I see Northland is expanding their line of Impulse plastics, I really see that gaining a foothold on my plastic arsenal this winter. Gulp works, but my goodness does it stink.
