who carries maki plstics i am in rochester any ideas would love to go to plastics over live bait. is it similar to berkley. any info appreciated
what were you catching?
I just checked out their site. They look cool. They have a ton of different ones. Which ones were you using and what were you catching on them
Gill favorite for me has been the Buggi this year, with the Mini Draggi and original Maki close by. The Mousi has been good for me for deep perch until I started using a bait I started to hand pour myself this year. Those aren't for sale though
haha well maybe we could get togethor and fish and you could get me hooked on plastics cuz i never really used them before
He lives on the other end of the state but if you want a little inside info on the art of using plastics, I live a lot closer to you
really gamma were you from? and yea we could get out and maybe i could learn sum new things
Plastics truly are the new age in ice fishing technology in my opinion, and I 100% think Maki's have done their research, and have become the foremost leader in the ice industry, with innovation, action, quality and versatility.etc. I have just started utilizing plastics towards the end of last ice season, and it has taken me quite a bit of will power to transition, and I still go back and forth from live bait to plastics. One thing I can say about all the plastics I've used so far is...Quality of fish has been better, The plastics last longer, have better action, and bring in bigger fish when used properly. With spikes or waxies.... ya tend to have to "re-bait" every couple of fish...perch are the worse. With plastics, they last way longer, and actually add action to your jiggin methods. Maki, has various scents also, that act as attractants, and there is glow plastics out there also. Humble guy that he is some times. If you guys truly are interested in working and figuring out plastics....ask the Ol' Gamma....he really does know his stuff, when it comes to tackle and gear...especially ice fishing. Trust FM on this.

After reading all this and watching the vid i just ordered the kit
My suggestion, when you get your Pro Pack, is to try the "Poli" first ! Rig is as per the video shows and post your results when you get back home !
