MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Good to know - where do you pick these up?
At that point if the higher up I stop reeling and pull up by hand the old fashioned way. Give it a try you may be surprized!
In my opinion. Not a good idea. As gizz says. Nothing worse than fiddling around,when you have a fish in or just below hole. But if it works 4 U then, IF it aint broke don't fix it zeus.
The reason I do it is because I dont have a flasher, this allows you to cover the bottom 1/2 to 1/3 of the water column.
I have about 4' of flouro. to a small swivel than to my 20' braid. The swivel I use is small enough to wind right onto the spool right through the guides.
HUH , I don't see what a flasher has to do with the length of your leader, or how you land a fish
As posted earlier , this allows you to fish at different depths, If you have a flasher you can raise your jig if you see a fish higher in the water cuomn. This will give you a better chance of catching suspended fish compared to only a jig on the botto.
should be collumn and bottom.
Not at the same time.
I also noticed that fish often check out the swivel. I now use about 1 inch of 30lb test atached to the swivel with a bare hook and a live minnow. Below i use 6 feet of floro with my jig. The bare hook and minnow often produces!
Having re- read this post. I have worked things out in my tiny mind. You attach a hook from your swivel, drop shotting fashion. So what happens if you get a fish on your jig at the bottom, and your swivel that now has a hook attached, snags on the bottom of your hole. Leaving your fish dangling 6 feet below. Personally, as I have said that system is a no go 4 me. If it works 4 you then fine. zeus
Hey guys,Does eveyone use swivels with jigs or do you just tie right on to the jig? I was watching a video on You Tube talking about line twist and how it can spin a jig while ice fishing.What size swivel do people usually use?Thank
Dont think I do alot better, but I have caught fish 6 feet higher up than my buddy in the hole beside me and still have a chance at a bottom fish. Much like a pick rig with a wider gap as sled in stated.
Why not just buy a finder and reel up to them ?
Not everyone wants another addition like you TC
Sorry ... I just can't (won't) fish without at least one flasher .
