Title: Hot Lure this season sofar
Post by: icebucketjohn on January 13, 2014, 03:44:59 PM
Just thought I'd pass this tip along to fellow icers:

I've been having nice success with a Mini-Rapala catching some nice Bull Bluegill, Crappies and a few Large Mouth Bass at Nimisila this season.  Went out 3x last week and it's help fill the bucket.

Here's a couple of pics:

Where can I get those small clips to tie on lines so I don't gotta retie all the time?

Most Tackle Shops carry them along with Gander Mtn, Cabella's, Bass Pro Shops

Those are great little lures, got a couple crappie last week at Deer Creek on them. And yes, that hook looks bigger!

I'll have to try mine out the next time I'm able to hit the ice.

Did you do the fine detailing on it yourself? I've only seen them in plain red/chrome without any pattern on it

No changes on the lure whatsoever.  Used it right out of the box. Fishing it clean, without any live bait.

I have one in the UV orange tiger color, really like them but the suckers are expensive and add up quick if you start a real large selection of sizes and colors
