Yep. I've got three. If targeting pike there's usually at least one bobbing a dead if it's not too bitter cold.

Here's some more info on use: https://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=310156.msg3249916#msg3249916

Plenty if information in the direct link but more if you follow the links in that reply. Good luck!
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

Have used small jigs and mealies with success on Rainbows.

Work well when temps are above freezing, wind isn't blowing too hard and coming from a consistent direction. A good but underused walleye option as it usually doesn't over jig the lure, unless the wind is howling.

Well I ordered a lot of six from eBay. It seems that the HT ones are not available, found identical units by eagle claw.
Gonna rig them up and maybe get one trip before the ice comes off.
Has anyone tried a jogging spoon on these? Or some beads and a Colorado blade?

I have 3 Windlass and have used with little guy jigs tipped with meal worms on windy days and done well on Rainbows.

I got to play around with them at the end of last season. I’m gonna try really light spoons like a slender spoon on a few of them for walleye.
