[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 309605, member: 983"] Can't go wrong with the Jigging Rap's. #5's and 7's for ice, maybe a #9 if you are big fish hunting. I actually think the old Nilsmaster Jigger's are better in an ice situation. No even sure if you can get them anymore. I have not used the Shiver Minnows under the ice, like them in open water. Another old favorite of mine are the Nils Jigging Shads. Rapala makes a jigging shad too, I just haven't had the success on it that the Nils has had. The Nilsmaster lures are really tough to find though. I just purchased some Hyper Glides, excited to use them. Like the profile, size and weight. Finally, the Salmo Chubby Darter has been great. The #3 or #4 size has been best. I have a bunch of Lindy Darter's too, but have not caught much on them. I would like to cross into the rattlebait scene but have not done it yet. DirtyMike, I just looked up that mold for the Shiver Minnows. Almost looks like a Shiver Minnow got 3D scanned. Mold is nice but $$$$$, with tails and wires plenty spendy too. If I could figure out how to manufacture the tails I think it would be feasible. Acrylic sheet cut on a laser and then heat molded would work I think. My mind is running now, a couple blank molds from Do-it could be cut with my CNC. Should be able to model what I want with Solidworks too. The possibilities! [/QUOTE]
