What is your favorite Saugeye bait?

February 06, 2015, 03:37:00 PM
Hello all, Being somewhat new to this site and ice fishing I figure this is a good way to not spend a bunch of money on baits that nobody uses.
So, what is your favorite jig/spoon/bait/color for Saugeye through the ice?
This could be useful information for some of IFO's members besides just myself.
Thank you all in advance.

I have 4 preferred baits I use when eye fishing, the colors are typically the same, blue/silver, gold, firetiger, and clown. Jigging rap, vibes, Swedish pimples, and jig and minnow. Good luck and be safe.

Thanks crv, I would post mine but being that I have not caught a saugeye through the ice I don't have any favorites.
38 views just trying to get some info, in this world you have to give a little to get a little!
Thanks in advance for all of the future posts on this topic.

When jigging these lures put a minnow close to the bottom under a bobber, in a hole next to ur jiggn hole, this often works for me if they don't want your lure offering they sometimes will take the minnow.

a small jigging rap,with 2 wax worms dangling off the small treble hook,works better sometimes than adding a small minnow.

;DWe do have slot of lurkers ,but that's okay . I like slender spoon with a minnow head ,fished near (6")bottom. Color depends on water clarity and time of day . Jigging Rap with a minnow head . And always ,a dead stick with a minnow , usually seals the deal . Good luck and tight lines .

Perhaps the views are people like me and yourself. Came here to get the same information your after but don't have enough experience to leave helpful tips.

I would hope that there are more than 3 guys on this site that have caught saugeye through the ice.
The way I see it if your looking for info and you get some a simple Thank You post might be in order.
I'm heading for Buckeye now for Sat. Night ice fishing. I will post about how this useful info worked out.
FYI Tomorrow I will post about an interesting experience at Gander Mountain, it is not quite finished yet...Im waiting to see how they handle it before I post.
Thank you everyone who has looked and posted on this string.

there is one little secret hint you could try, when using a sweedish pimple I take the hooks off of a glow sweedish pimple tie it on, then where the hook were, I put a 10-12" long leader on with another glow pimple, the hookless pimple acts as an attractant.

Thanks ice dawg! I'm going to try that. I have had great success with the double jig rig for saugeyes in current. Why not through the ice.

I have good luck with a vibe, jigging rapala and buckshot rattle spoons. Firetiger, gold blue/chrome and perch colors work well. Bright colors like orange and red work in stained water. Use natural colors in clear water and bright and glow colors in stained water. Good luck catching your first eye.
