    Just to let everyone know, we have the Little Atom Two Tone Plastics in! Them things look AWESOME! We also by mistake got the wedgees in a motor oil that look pretty slick as well. I am not sure if we will carry that color or not, but capitalize on it now! Simply must haves imo for the plastic anglers. Be careful they are gonna go quick. After seeing them tonight, we are about 50 packages light….

    We also have the new panfish slick jigs in the store as well. We are also getting the “mag” size Lindy Darters in hopefully soon.

    Another really cool bait are the JB lures Orca and Orca Diver. These litttle buggers look like a sweet little jig to pick up at a pretty nice price.

    We also got the venum bobbers in, if you thought the ice buster bobbers couldnt be improved on, check these out!

    As always we have an awesome selection of ice fishing tackle and there is some other cool stuff, but those certainly stick out in my mind and are must haves.

    I have the standard nuggies in every color as a go to plastic in the ice bag. That motor oil you mention I have in the nuggie and on many of the northern waters in Minnesota that is a solid producer. It works good down this way if the water takes on some color for some reason.

    Both styles of the Orkas are dynamite. I prefer the diver with the treble hook. These need to be dropped on a loose line when bing jigged. I jig them upward with very small hops for about a foot, then let the jig just drop on a loose line. They have that small angled blade that allows them to drift off to the side on the drop.

    The nuggies will work on the Orkas, but the micro nuggie is a better companion as it doesn’t affect the drop/slide as much.

    Off some of the docks I fished this fall the sunfish patterned Orka did well on crappies when fished with a 1″ Gulp Minnow in Smelt color as well as a pink or white nuggie.

    Boy,
    Everyones solution is online hey? lol….
    Its nice to have a shop you can go to, and mingle and talk with the employees and owners. I worked in a few and loved talking to customers and getting that hands on feel. Most definitely.
