Making your own ice lures

These are some of my favorites for tight lipped gills. They resemble " blood worms " which are fed heavily upon under the ice. If you ever have caught perch with red scrapes about their mouth. You can bet the farm that is what they are feeding on. They root them right out of the mud.

Some other favorites I make.

Some of my pin mins. Eyes always seem to work for me.

Those are some nice looking jigs. I use them all year long, sometimes it makes all the differance.

I target large gills and when the typical red worm doesn't work. I will switch over to slip bobber and an ice jig (just to ad a bit of color in stained water)and tip it with a wax worm or butter worm. Those big pumpkinseeds and gills can't pass it up. Plus I catch fewer dinks this way. :ThumbsUp

very nice!

not many ice fishermen on this site i guess.
