    I have never used them for ice fishing. I know they had a very positive effect on steelhead fishing in the past while casting spoons.

    Its worth a shot.

    It just might help

    I use a lot of plastics when ice fishing, and I know that little atom plastics come have their own special fish attractant built in..not sure if it makes a difference, but on some days, I can greatly improve my catch rate over live bait with these plastics. Otherwise, I’m mostly using waxies, minnow heads, Chena bait, spikes, mousies, or red worms and these all have their own natural sent. I’ll try some sent that I have laying around next time I’m out and I will be sure to let you know how it went!

    I use BANG garlic and really like MegaStrike paste and yes, I believe they work. I read today that Preparation H, the hemmorhoid cream is a great attractant for crappies. Supposedly it contains shark oil.

    You can spray the fish with all the cologne and perfumes and after shaves you want, they’ll still stink. Come on- someone had to say it.
