Is power bait for rainbow trout a good bait to use for ice fishing? If so what kind of setup would you use? Thanks guys

Heck yes, we catch 75% of our trout that way. Chartreuse is a good color.

Trout Love Powerbait,  The one that works well for me is white and chartreuse with Flakes in it. And is a little stronger in smell. Turbo Doe

One of my best baits is: Berkley Power Worms. Bubble Gum. Others work also but I just cut an 1" piece off and attach it to my Swedish Pimple or Kastmaster or Slender Spoon.

I've had good luck with the chartreause "corn" gulp alive. I thread a pice onto my leader and down onto the shank of my treble hook and then hook a whole crawler on the hooks. Caught a 19" brown on that set up yesterday.
