I recently visited the St.Paul ice fishing show and found myself amazed as I searched aisle by aisle at all the new stuff that is available for ice fishing. We have all sat and thought about what if this did this or why doesn't someone make this etc. I have spent many hours on my bucket thinking about ideas but never being able to put them in action. Well for the dreamers that were able to it appears it will pay off well in the end. Here are some examples-
1. Genie jar- it's basically a clear plastic tube that has a screw on lid on both ends,one end has a inner lip that keeps the bait float from falling out as you fill it with water. Fill it with your favorite minnow and Bam your off and running, it fits right in your pocket, no more carrying a big bulky bait bucket as you hole hop or travel out to check your tip ups.
2. Venom floats- guys if you pan fish and like to dead stick these won't disappoint! They are an adjustable foam float that you no longer have to cut to size to adjust your buoyancy. It is a 2 piece float in which the bottom twists up and down the foam float giving you it's varied buoyancy. You don't have to cut the foam so you can use it over and over. They also have some really sweet new tungsten jigs and spoons. Check them out at venomfloats.com
I will try to add to this thread periodically until we start drilling holes, bring on the ice
