Ice rod strike indicators
«
on:
Jan 04, 2019, 02:16 PM »
I enjoy making homemade tackle. When I can't go fishing - I make stuff. We still don't have ice. So I just created a video on how to make strike indicators for ice fishing for anyone interested in making them.
Here is the YouTube video:
https://youtu.be/RaAqV6_cHJk
Last winter I made these ice rod strike indicators for myself, tested them, and liked how they worked.
Edit:
Thank you very much for your comments. This is very motivating. I will be making and publishing more fishing-related videos on
my channel
every now and then.

Very clever use of otherwise scrap material.

Very nice. I would guess if someone wanted to use say an 1/8 Oz Lure they could double the thickness of the material with glue.

I've experimented with different materials, including a thick fishing line. I used monofilament high-pound test, leftovers from saltwater fishing, and it worked alright. Fluorocarbon is stiffer than monofilament, which is better. But the line should be pretty thick.

It gets a bit stiffer, but I account for that when I test. Also, I have them in various widths so I can see what works best for the weather.
