Anglers are hitting the lakes after a cold & snowy start to winter, and panfish are on the feed! Here are some top tricks, tackle, and items you want to check out for this ice season.
REELIST CO. ICE RODS – With the perfect balance of light weight and proper action, the PANFISH SERIES from Reelist Co. has been an extremely popular option for anglers across the state. For Tonka pannies, we suggest using the 26” Panfish Series Rod – perfect for fishing outside and short enough to be comfortable fishing in a shelter. Plus, they come with reel bands so no need to make a mess using electrical tape!
Try a new bait the fish haven’t seen before with the CARL’S CUSTOM PRAIRIE SPIDER – we call it “ice dice!” Made to replicate an insect or phytoplankton, this little creature bait has enticing appendages threaded through the center for nonstop action and movement. Fish can’t resist it, and it catches their attention from afar. It’s a trend that started all the way in Japan – so you know it’s a proven tactic for pressured fish.
With these two top-quality products, you can put more fish topside this year, fish with the best of the best, and show fish something new that they haven’t seen. As always, stop into Waypoint and ask the guys for a local ice report. They’re happy to share more tips, tricks, and reports.
Handmade locally here in the Minnetonka area – and only available at Waypoint Angler Supply.
