Yeah talking ice fishing. I see people fishing the bottom of the dam. Not sure how I feel about that.

Don’t think mine were yak but same concept, they will help some. Don’t expect it to be a totally different boot but its worth the small amount of money IMO.

Hey for $80, I am going to give them a shot.

Do you know what these boots would compare to in terms of insulation? 800g?

OP asked if they would work ok, and that I would say yes to, just ok.

My similar mucks got used for some ice time up to last year until I invested in baffins. They worked, I’d recommend the thermal liner that blocks some cold from below. That’s where the foot would almost always get cold from. Throwing a couple warmers in there also helps.

Be ready to throw some ice cleats on, but with the snow we’ve had already this seasoned may not be too much an issue.

Have fun with them they are a great boot which I’ve used extensively for years now.

Have you used these?

Also, I know that they were picked up at 50% off on black friday, so there is no way that I will return them, as they were bought for $80ish. I am going to run these this year and see how they are. If they are not holding up, I think I am going to give alphaburly’s.

It’s sucks honestly. Just got done shoveling my driveway in tennis shoes and they are cold and sweaty. I think if I could keep my feet dry, any boot would be ok.

What depth were you fishing? Probably looking at the south/west side of the lake then.

Just moved to Sartell in August. Do you remember the lake name?

Targeting walleye, but will chase perch if need be. We are staying in waubay

I think we are going to stay in Waubay and fish bitter. Any ideas where to begin?

Taking a look at some spinnerbait, what size do you go with?

have you looked at the kawasaki teryx? i have the teryx4 four seater. plenty of room for 4 people with nice adjustable fox shocks. also come with nice factory doors. there alot shorter than most other 4 seaters. they also come with the best factory warranty at 3 years! and cheaper than most other 4 seaters also. i had a ranger before the kawasaki and glad i switched. polaris has the most accessories but you pay big money for them.

So this is basically a Polaris General? I do like the looks of it.

My 3.5 year old is getting interested in my wide one inferno, and was planning to pull it around and fish with him. This might be the ticket

How is the space in one of those?

That is one thing that i realized after buying the Yamaha. If wanting to get a full cab or something of that sort, a Polaris Ranger is the way to go, as they have so many accessories for a reasonable price.

Yeah Rangers are everywhere. Windshield would be plenty for me, considering I just wear my Ice Armor gear on the 4 wheeler now.

Do you think a 700 would have enough power for tracks?

I’m interested as well. Where are you at?

Before PK predator spoon came out…I had that done years ago. I use to post all about them, but photobucket has my photo’s for ransom. LOL.

A lot of my spoons have a flipper blades or fairy wings blades on them. They are nothing new, but I didn’t want to follow just tail kicker blades. Small rod taps of the tips, makes the blades fan and flip like as to appear the spoon is trying to swim with ventral fins. I saw a huge improvement in fish calling and fish bites after I made those modifications.

I concept was sort of done by Hildebrandt on some of their jigging spoons. A pair of little kicker blades, or flicker blades, or wings.

Which blades did you put on? 1/8 would be great with some on there

I have a wide one inferno and 28 is the longest I will go.

Hands down my go to spoons

What size and colors do you like?

slipperybob wrote:

Yes, they work. They are fairly new to me. So they are not my go to lure yet. Since I modified my Northland forage minnow spoon and buckshots and those have been proven producers for such a long time for me.

What mods did you do?

What size do you go with? 1/8?

Considering they just announced the G2N ice package, you would think they would be around for at least another year.

The helix is an inch wider…..

Are you going to use it as a sonar at all? I mounted mine to a genz box with battery, but I am going to use it on the ice. That way I can just pick it up and switch to GPS and slap it on my wheeler without having to turn off and on. Just my 2 cents.
