I take the rings off my ice rods and secure the reel with electrical tape. Has worked great for me.

deal me in…. That sounds like some big time fun.

Yeah Lake Ona is sorta crazy. I am excited to try a few new spot out there that you do not see many people fish. I have fished some down at Pettibone but it is not really that worth it. A lot of small gills. Good luck everyone and be safe out there!!!

I had the same problem about 2 years ago when I bought one used. The person was using 24:1 so I used 40:1 and that helped out big time when I actually went to punch a hole in the ice. I also put in a new carb kit and ran some seafoam through it and now it runs like a top!!!

Guys I need some more help. I am leaving wednesday for hayward. Like I stated before I will be stayin at a campground on Barbers bay I beleive they call it. I just want to get into some crappies and maube a few walters. Can you help me out with what they are hitting on and what colors.
