unofficial Ice lure swap pix

Thought some of the rest of you might like to see what we came up with. Although these are primarily ice fishing lures that would be good anywhere , anytime.

will be shipping packs late tomorrow just in case lost package finds its way here. split up best I could with the extras. Tried to make sure no one got two of their own lures.

swivel in pix is a #12 the size used with pony jigs.

Never thought much about little spoons.. Our water never freezes. Maybe 48-44 degrees. Wondering about shooting docks in feb. with those little spoons? Need to figure out how to make? Love the pictures

Liftbite--- I classify these lures as ice lures but I use them all year long. Little spoons have worked every where I have tried them.

Often when fish get tight lipped and won't touch a normal size lure or bait they will hit a small lure. I always used this analogy. Picture sitting under a nice shade tree after eating a huge dinner. As you sit there your neighbor yells over the fence from his cookout. Hey you want a burger we got extras. More than likely you refuse but if he said got some extra ice cream or extra pie.
Then he got your attention.

I have shot docks but never with the little spoons. Best luck I have had with them is in vertical jigging presentation often tipped with a grub or piece of grub. Will almost always take gills and often crappie if not on a minnow pattern. I have had minnows die of old age ice fishing while pounding crappie on wax worms and maggots.
