Which to buy..sonar or flasher?We crazy ice fishing fools also need an auger..or 2.. which brand? what size? gas or electric or propane? otherice shelters..dang...I just have to get one or those..or 2.. flip over, suitcase, permanent.. yes..I just have to get one.This ice fishing is fun..i need to get out more(fuel the addiction.haha)What is this?? we can fish with 4 lines? what a country..I need rods and reels..lots of them..different lengths, actions. Some with large eyelets, some with small eyelets. I have heard that tips ups for northerns can be a hoot so I need to grab a few of those as well.Line? fishing line..I need to put some different line on the different reels. Gosh..i need to note book to keep track of what I have on what set up(more fuel for the addiction). Rod cases..must have..those suckers can save my rods.  Honey..i picked up a nice used flipover fish house the other day..it was in great shape..and a steal of a price..Yes,dear, but don't you already have  flip over??Yes,honey I do..but this was a heck of a deal. Tackle..ah yes...the addiction grows as most regular softwater lures just will not do.. You need to pick up buckshots, flying rattlin spoons, Swedish pimples, jigs..not just any jigs..get tungsten..genz worms.hali's,frostee's,slender spoons,tingler spoons.stinger hooks, dropper chains, jigging raps. All sizes, all colors. Keep in mind some of your fellow NDA's on here also make their own lures. Give them some business as well. Do not forget about drop shot rigs..oh..and some of your rods need to be outfitted for deadsticking a live bait on a bobber...oh yeah..don't forget to pick up a gold colored treble hook that your buddy's cousin's uncle said that he killed them one day on. Scheels is your friend. Refer to them often. They are a great source to pick up the latest lure that you were sure you had but need to get more anyway. Before mentioned notebook...is where addiction grows..in said notebook...jot down your fishing excursions..location, time of day, wind direction, number of fish caught, overcast or sunny, and barometric pressure..was it falling, rising, steady? You will need to refer to this notebook otherwise you will be relegated to memorizing such things when discussing your fishing success with your buddies at the local coffee shop or watering hole.   Be ready for ice fishing season the first moment some ice starts to accumulate in your can of busch lite! You will need a least a month to prepare your rods and reels and add to your collection of tackle. Add a lure or two that you recalled your buddy's friends cousin's friend told you about over a beer one time this past summer.Welcome to the addiction my friend, welcome to the addiction! Fast forward 15-20 yrs and you will be wondering, How in the heck did I accumulate all this stuff? hahaPeople who have never fished or seen hardwater before don't have a clue!Good fishing! I going hunting until the real season starts- Ice fishing season</blockquote>
