I have a new lure for ice fishing they come in nickel and 24 k gold plated.what is different is the action and the bead inside of a bead as you notice in the picture.i use only VMC black nickel hooks and the best of components! I have a list of stores i sell to upon request mostly around Saginaw Bay and Lake St. Clair!

I like the bead in the bead idea. Makes them look 3 dimentional. Ever think of making them bigger for Walleyes?

Yes Dan i have been approached with a few requests on that! Interesting idea I will make them up in larger sizes and see how they work! i have to get the right action like i have on my smaller willows! i think they would mimic the shad base forage we have in the bay!

Those look great - where can I get some? Are they as heavy as the McGaffy's? If so I would love to pick some up. The multi color bead I believe will trigger more bites w/ perch. White and green beads have been my best producer (on silver and gold) - but, that gold with the little pink bead has peaked my interest. I've hooked a few big fish that were screamers and never landed - walleye I believe...never had Pike take off that quick(?)

Are those barbless hooks?

Thanks...Jeff

They are lighter then mcgathy's I made them like this so they will flutter on slack line and are good in shallow water 0-20'. If they were heavier they would go down too fast! i made them to tantalize the fish with a slow-fast wobble and on a quick upward jerk of 1-2' on slack line they flutter away from the hole then flutter back towards the middle so you attract fish coming and going! I have them at Franks Great Outdoors -Linwood and Michigan sportsman in essexville, Alexanders bait and tackle in sebewaing and walshs gun and tackle in caseville and more around the lake st. clair area ! Working on larger ones to use on walleye coming soon! they will be like my smaller ones and have the same action with larger hooks with barbs and i will make them so the bead will push back some so you can add bait!
