I have a few dozen tungsten ice flies that don't quite cut the mustard for me to retail, but they will still most definitely catch fish. I will gift to three different people, hopefully who will introduce a young one to ice fishing, or one who simply has budget constraints. Maybe later on I'll claim something I can use.

Send a PM with name and address and I'll get some unique baits out to you ASAP. First three will get 'em.

All of the ice flies have been claimed. I'll see if there's anything else in my stash. Thanks to all who started and participated in this thread. Let's keep it going!

This is a great idea! I love it. I mailed out some plastic and various hooks to folks last year...if i had more, I'd do it again.

Bumping this. Let's go, dudes! Gotta be something you don't want that someone else would find useful.

Agronomist_at_IA · « **Reply #609 on:** Dec 08, 2021, 04:08 PM »

Ok got the plastics out.....I'll send out 4 envelopes with some plastics in a zip lock snack bag inside. All that I ask is that the individual contributes to the pay it forward.

They look great! (especially the pink/clear minnows, scuds and pink/natural mayflies) I'd love to try a few, but don't know what I could contribute (and I'm pretty flush on gear currently).

Could probably tie up a couple jigs or flies for the pay-it-forward? I don't exactly have any "secret killer" patterns- just marabou leech jigs and some 1/80oz trout/panfish jigs that can be killer with a mealworm or waxie, and make a pretty decent dropper off a spoon for deeper water- the little jig got a 20" brown, too.

That's the spirit. I just shipped a bunch of tungsten flies to three different guys. The postal service allowed me to use the flat envelope rate for my 6x9 padded envelope so it was super cheap to ship them.

I've got a Fenwick convertible ice rod (Fenwick Methods Ice Fishing Spinning Rod). Comes with two interchangeable rods that fit into a single handle. Very secure and the the actions are nice Hard travel case included. Can't remember the actions, it's either 23/27" or the 25/29". The 23/27 is light/medium light and the 25/29 is light+/medium (Fenwicks description).

First come via PM...

And yes, I'll catch the shipping

Well that didn't take long... Rod is gone boys n girls!

If I could get some it would be great. I pour jig heads, and can powder paint with glow colors. 1/16 to 5/8 oz. I could send some of them out.

Rebelss · « **Reply #623 on:** Dec 11, 2021, 04:54 PM »

UPDATE!

*DING*DING*DING* We have a winner!! The vintage Stubcaster will be going in the mail soon.............

PM me an address and post something for someone and I'll send them your way. Not looking to get anything myself, just wanting others to keep the spirit going and contribute to the cause for the season.
