My 10 or so showed up this morning hoping to use them tomorrow. They look pretty nice.  Thinking about trying a hali chain with one of the flutter fish.

UGGHH!!! I just caved in and ordered a pile of them! I need help

You think you need help. OCD here... I just placed an order last night as well. This on top of a few hundred dollars in jigs the last 2 months, a new Nils, a Big Buddy heater, another piece of electronic gear... Elite 4 Ice Machine... well hell, i can't blame my soon to be ex beautiful wife for leaving me in November, because I can't quit spending money on gear. Hell honey, you DID marry a fishing outfitter. Guess she got tired of it after 13 years. I miss her already. As long as I have plenty of time with our son outdoors, doing what we love....

Nothing wrong with a bit of modifications! The Fastach does give it a bit of length, and allows the hook to swing more freely. Make sure to post pics of those wall-hangers!

might try just a mono or flouro dropper instead, not sure bout you but i've had some bad luck with those Hali chains on bigger fish, just a suggestion.

I know what your saying, have broke them just jigging for salmon. I did see my wife pull in a 7# bull on one last year.  Not sure if its just me but the chains seemed stronger than 2 years ago.

I'll second the Fastach swivels.  Attach the closed loop end to your lure split ring and the treble to the "fast" side.  You can remove the treble and thread a minnow head down the shank.  Then reattach the treble.  The head won't fall off and will last multiple fish.  I use this technique when fishing in Manitoba where barbless is required.  Nothing worse than working a fish off the bottom only to have your lure get light and then watch the minnow head slowly sink to the bottom on the vex and then have the fish snub your meatless offering.

Definitely some good info wyoutdoors! And a great pic, too! Casv2002, do let me know how they work out if you get a chance to use them this weekend. I won't get a chance to hit the ice this weekend. I'm going to git the show at the fairgrounds Saturday but am alone with the little one Sunday. Next weekend I plan on getting in some good ice time with my new PKs though!

You will love them just pulled a second mortgage on the house and ordered some more!!

Hali chains are crap.  I drop off my flutter fish all the time, it works great, but for crying out loud, use fluro and a high quality hook.

I just got PKs in the mail today,spoons & flutter fish. Nice looking lures , on the spoons, do you leave the top hook attached next to the line snap? Is any one having problems with them fowling on the line?

[wyoutdoors]

Mine haven't fouled enough to be an issue. Sometimes pounding them real heavy for prolonged times they might catch. But like I said, not an issue for me. I even use Fastach snaps on the lower trebles, and the 1/8 oz spoons and flutters catch every once in a while with very hard pounding.

Hey Flyline, strikes happen at both ends ~ don't want to miss half yer catch.   

[flylinemt]

Makes sense to me. Thanks

#3,5,10,14 & 15 are my favorites. Great lures
