Automatic jiging devices
« on: Jan 31, 2013, 12:37 PM »
Has anyone got an idea where to purchase automatic jiging devices for ice fishing ?  I've seen some used but the supplier is gone.  Bob

did you try their to links to cabelas or sportsman warehouse. I got mine from cabelas about 3yrs ago. I think the original cost of mine was 24.99, guess they doubled in price since then.

Hey, maybe you should try Costco's fresh fish department.  If you can't do your own jigging, you might as well buy your fish.  Sport?????

There's quite a few other reasons to have an automatic jigger than to just jig a hook for you...... Sport?????

This is the first non-constructive post I have seen on this site. We are all entitled to our opinion but what’s the point of sharing something like this?

There is a jigging machine made by Lindell and sells for $139.99. Thats a lot of money! So I built my own out of a windshield wiper motor,12 volt battery, delay relay and an old tackle box.

 A little cheaper alternative is using something like a jigger totter and a small card or paper plate sometimes you don't even need that depends on how hard the wind blows. seems like there is always a breeze Just pointing out an alternative  ;D

Seen an old guy using a chunk of sheet metel.  It was 1.5 ft tall about 2 to 4 inches wide and had a hole in it towards the top that held his pole.  I think he had a base but was covered with ice shavings.  The wind did all the work.

Hey hollister, if you don't end up at costco check out fishhousesupply.com.   ;D  the motivator would go nice in a wheelhouse and has different jigging settings.

im not sure about holister, but i want mine for inside the wheelhouse, no wind- at least i hope there never is! ;D

the main reason im looking into one is because every time i rip my big pike spoon, it calls in a ton of crappie and other fish. EZjigger has a pretty good looking 'attractor' available on their site and i would like to also use it at night to keep a big sucker minnow flopping around.

every unit i found that is still available is over 100 bucks and i feel like i could build one for way less than that- if only someone could do a how to thread on theirs................ .... :bow:
