Title: What gives you confidence??
Post by: slabslayer on December 20, 2016, 10:53:26 AM
Is there a special lure, rod, reel, or something else that gives you confidence on the ice? It seems like we all have something. I have 2 things: 1-my bluegill belt buckle (never been skunked or fallen in wearing it) 2-rainbow tungsten gill pill. Seems I can always catch something on it even when nothing else works!

From the boat, flipping a crawl bait, ice , it has to be the vex, not showing anything I tend to move or lose interest , something shows up, I tend to fish harder with more confidence

Tiny (2mm or less) gold tungsten with a micro plastic and a spike. Fished on my clam jason mitchel 18 in spring bobber rod with 2 lb test. If there are panfish to be caught this seems to always work for me.

I'm not sure about confidence but I really enjoy the time spent with others in fish with. To me that is better than a a bucket full of fish.
