Snake River - Got your jigs in the mail. Very nice work and thanks again for the xtras, gona make me some steelhead eggs with that yellow.
JJJ & Snake - thanks for the advice, will have to give it a try. Was out again tonight, but the lake froze over with a skim of ice by 10:30 and I gave in. Oh well.
Jubs - My whole spool froze up tonight and a jig came flying back at me when I tried to cast once.

Line looked like a bead necklace, was dead calm and just as cold as last night.
CK3 - You may have something... I thought it sounded like just what I needed until you said you were pulling my leg.

A 9v battery and some wire and maybe you have a product there...

Bet you could sell some ice rods with that idea!!!
