Here is a link to fish USA seelction of Okuma ice gear. They dont have the rod I purchased at a local shot but it's the same line of rods I beleive

Second that! I use Fish USA even though I live in PA and have to pay state tax. They are quick, and usually have good prices. Last year I got a bunch of Hali jigs at 20-50 cents below any other companies prices. Good thing, as they raised them this season. Will soon be getting some replacement chains with beads. Just ordered a Legend Elite rod and extra spring bobber, and a Mr jigger rod holder (gift card, couldn't resist!)

icejunky · « **Reply #34 on:** Oct 31, 2006, 10:33 AM »

I have been using Fishusa for three years now, without a single issue, very fast, very freindly service.

I bought my Fireline Crystal from Thorne bros, it my first order with them, they had it in stock and it's on the way

icejunky · « **Reply #35 on:** Nov 01, 2006, 07:53 AM »

a few more small additions

19) Hali Lahti (Pink & White)

20) Hali dropper chains x 2 (4 chains with glow beads)

mistertwister · « **Reply #36 on:** Nov 01, 2006, 08:03 AM »

Is the fireline crystal a braided type line? I've tried regular fireline on open water poles and didn't like the braided line just because i thought the fish could see it in the water. $:-\$

dadstacklebox · « **Reply #37 on:** Nov 01, 2006, 08:24 AM »

How about the ice chisel? I would not be on the ice without it, the chisel has saved me and the day more then once.

icejunky · « **Reply #38 on:** Nov 01, 2006, 04:49 PM »

The wife can never ever see this thread, no sign of ice yet but the equipment selection keps growing.

21) HT Big eye spring bobbers
22) Northland Creep Worms x 2
23) Northland glow buster (replacing broken one)
24) Williams Wobble Spoon (perch for pike)
25) Northland Sti nger Hooks x 2 (4 per pack)
26) Tip-up Line 12lb & 15lb

I know I will catch hell for this one but it was a great deal so I took one, $9.99 was worth it, even thought I know most people here depsised this unit last year.

27) Nature Vision Jigging Tip-up

MOst items I have been buying up so far this year are items that are hard to get once ice hits, they sell out and go on back order so I buy early and Im prepped to go come Jan 1

icejunky · « **Reply #39 on:** Nov 02, 2006, 12:23 PM »

More deals today................t he cost of hails in Canada is nuts, you pay 6-9$ per jig and $6 for a 2 pack of additional chains, I just placed an order with fish307 and the order cost me 83$ US including shipping and when I do the math of what I would have paid in Canada is comes out that I saved atleast $30 even after paying for them to ship to me...anyways here is todays purchase

28) Hali Sukkula 50mm x 5

29) Hali Replacment Chains (yes more) x 4 packs

30) Islander Perch Eye jigs x 10 (pink, white, orange, red)

31) Frabill Arctic Siren Tip-up alarms x 2 (have not seen them in Canada yet)

32) Frabill Panfish Popper Spring Bobbers x 1 pack

33) Today's Tackel 9" Ice Well ( I have been looking at these for awhile now)

icejunky · « **Reply #40 on:** Nov 05, 2006, 05:32 PM »

dropped in on a local haunt and scooped up some Northland sale items left over from last season

34) Buckshot spoons x 3
35) Gypsi Jig x 3
36) Forage minnow x 2
37) Eye dropper x 4

One of the buckshots are the newer dirty water glow spoons, really dark colours and heavily painted...the owner of the shop also collects and resells older lures so i grabbed a few classic looking willimas spoons

38) Williams Spoon x 2
