Title: Ice Jigger
Post by: benblock on May 02, 2018, 02:02 PM

Hi everyone,

UPDATE: I found an ice jigger I can purchase.. however, does anyone know of blueprints to build my own?
=======================================================================

I am looking for an 'ice jigger' which is used to string line under the ice to use with a gill net. Does anyone know where I could buy one or blueprints to make one myself?

For those of you unsure what I mean, here is a youtube video:

Personal message me if you have any details!

Biologists use them, though.  Dream job  ;D

That's pretty cool.

Cool job, just not a livable wage atleast here in vt.
My nephew went to college to become a biologist here in vt.
Worked for 3 years here in vt.
Loved it, unfortunately had to move out of state to get paid for it.
Thats why most of the people who do those types of jobs either do it completely for the love of it or they're trust funders.
Vermont just doesnt pay the employees of natural resources what they should, its sad.
To have a family and a home its expensive here.
