Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
Great tips. I was worried about not getting a close up look - particularly at the flies - but at the end you showcased them nicely. I have some of those lures but I bought waayyy too many hooks without trying them and its hard to know which ones to try. I do best with jigs but will explore with the kastmaster and Swedish pimple for sure. I appreciate your sharing what works!
The only thing I would add to the list is a small white Mr Twister plastic on a standard lead jig head. They are a somewhat aggressive presentation, good for finding aggressive perch and walleyes that want to chase but I've had countless rainbows gulp those things to the point that I will use it to target rainbows on occasion or as a multi species lure.
Great video! Just discovered your channel and after watching a few videos, we fish for trout in almost the exact same way. Also, thumbs up for Old Town kayaks 👍
GREAT VIDEO!!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that uses flys...I'll also had some good luck using Blobs, scud patterns, Leeches and grass shrimp patterns here in the highlands ice fishing... Thanks again for the great video!
Have you ever tried using small PK lure spoons they work really well for perch and other pan fish and the bigger sizes for walleye and I was wondering if they worked for trout. Thx
It really depends on the lake and food resources. However, in general over deep water 20' or more trout tend to suspend high off the bottom and feed in the water column. Near shore or in shallow areas under 10' they tend to associate with the bottom.
What type and color of swedish pimple lure did you use here? Do you think it hurts to put a little piece of worm on the lure too for extra scent? Thanks!
I am going for rainbows on a small glacial pothole lake on Saturday. Where I am going the rainbows are stocked. I have tried several times to locate them ice fishing and cannot seem to even see any on the camera. The lake is not very big, it is one of those glacial pothole lakes so it gets pretty deep, almost 70'. Around the whole perimeter it drops off about 10 from the shore except for the back NW corner, there it is a little more gradual.. almost basin like. Would you have any tips on trying to locate these elusive son of a guns??? I do have an aquavu cam and an ibobber so i got the electronics.. any tips are appreciated! much love brother!
Generally trout will be feeding in the upper 20' of the water column in my experience. Shallow basins are more likely to hold fish than out over the deepest part of the lake.
I don't think it was mentioned in the video, what depth are you fishing everything? For guys like me who don't have fish finders and stuff...how deep should we concentrate initially
I use moroburu waited feather jig with a little bit of shrimp or worms. I get a ton of bites, unfortunately I'm struggling to set the hook and a lot of time when I do the fish still comes off the hook. What am I doing wrong?
It really depends on the lake. However, I generally find trout feeding nearer the bottom rather than suspended off the bottom. I try to focus on areas with weeds as that generally means lots of bug life (as you can see in the video). In these areas they generally patrol the bottom.
The lures shown at 9:10, You Google in ''China/ fishing lures'' and u can buy them ''cheaply. BUT make sure you scrowl down to see How many you get for your money.
Hey there, Milt. You are legitimately the most knowledgeable and genuine fisherman I follow. Thanks for your commitment and all the amazing content.
Thank you for those kind words and your support!
I would have to say your my favorite fisherman considering you are local and you are so knowledgeable.
One of the most informative guys I’ve watched, Subbed!!!!
casual hook up,
then the chunk ripps some drag,
THEN the bass drops.
epic edit!
Very underrated video. Very professional my guy, make it appear effortless.

Great vid thanks for the tips! Just subbed! We're gonna head out for some rainbows up here in Canada in 2 weeks so we'll try em out! Keep up the vids!
Great video, that one fish was giant.
Nicely done AND nice music!!! 🎣🙌🎣👏👏👏

Very informative. Great Video
Good job bro thanks for information
Meal worm and a salmon egg on small hook is my go to for trout. 2nd, copper John flies. In the northeast
Another great video. Great information 👍. Always get straight to the point 👉. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us 🇺🇸. Top notch video. 👌
I've got a ton of kastmasters for small stream pools. I'll try jigging one next time
GREAT VIDEO!!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that uses flys...I'll also had some good luck using Blobs, scud patterns, Leeches and grass shrimp patterns here in the highlands ice fishing...
Thanks again for the great video!
Your presntation was supper good. Be careful out there.
great video! thanks! subbed.
*that one was a giant*
Sweet toad!! Great videos can’t wait for safe ice, do you use a shanty it’s my favorite thing to sight fish.
I rarely use a shanty and mostly rely on electronics to catch my fish.
Nice
Nice 🌈 bow

Never tried them but they look like they would work.
How about a top lure video for perch?
8 trout disliked this video
Going to target some rainbows this weekend!
What do you usually start with? Spoons then downsize to small jigs?
What usually does better for you?
I usually go opposite. Start with jigs. If you can't get them to commit try aggressive spoon jigging.
Dude! That trout looks like a salmon!
Agreed, looked like a land locked Kokanee Salmon
Do you tie all tackle directly to your line, or do you ever add a swivel to make switching easier?
Direct tie
What tip up is that?
Nice video, that slush monster is nasty! What boots you wearing?
Muckmaster Arctic Ice
Thanks Again for a great video.
I checked out the Minnow Mmic ....Am I seeing that price correctly?...$35 ?
Oops linked the wrong one amzn.to/2CvrOW7
do you find most trout feed high in the water column or just off the lake bed?
It really depends on the lake and food resources. However, in general over deep water 20' or more trout tend to suspend high off the bottom and feed in the water column. Near shore or in shallow areas under 10' they tend to associate with the bottom.
What type and color of swedish pimple lure did you use here? Do you think it hurts to put a little piece of worm on the lure too for extra scent? Thanks!
For Rainbows I like red and white or silver and green. It absolutely helps to tip with bait.
Where are you fishing is it public
What was the auto hook setter you used with that fly

Thanks a lot! I’m really enjoying the videos. Just ordered my first ice fishing rig, and can’t wait to try it.
what is that hook setter called

How deep was the water you were fishing?
5-10'
@@spiltmilt how deep does that lake get?
Are you tipping the spoons or pimples?
Yes with maggots
What rod are you using?
I'm using several different rods in this video. Which one?
What depth are you fishing the trout? Thank you!
5-10' mostly occasionally I'll go deeper.
Have you ever caught rainbows with just worms alone? THanks!
Yes. It works!
Where are the trout hanging out? Closer to the bottom?
It really depends on the lake. However, I generally find trout feeding nearer the bottom rather than suspended off the bottom. I try to focus on areas with weeds as that generally means lots of bug life (as you can see in the video). In these areas they generally patrol the bottom.
Spilt Milt Productions thanks
Where do you live because your really information

I’ve caught more trout ice fishing with just a pink jig head and chunk of raw shrimp than anything else
Are you tipping them Sweetish pimples ?
Yes with maggots.
@@spiltmilt thank you
