Steve...if they are rising they are interested ,but the bait is too big...your gonna have to go smaller and maybe even dead stick them.<br />
That's why I tie a hundreth oz hair jig and you don't need meat.

i understand this method we use it here,now when sight fishing they pull up and won;t rise say 3 ft of water,threw the box at them today.plastics to live and nothing they pull up look and leave.any idea how to get these fish to bite,almost always the bigger gills would rush in and stop.

Kieth, I hope I even get to use my ice rods this year. We have 1-2 inches on some lakes with about 20 inches of snow on top of it! Sheeesh! In the mild Mid-Atlantic, we might not get the safe ice. Hoping for some open water crappie next week in southern Delaware.

A spring strike indicator is imperative on a finnicky bite.<br />
I had several hits that I never saw but when I went to relift the spring would start to curl....fish on.<br />
An up hit is also something that a spring will reveal.<br />
I've been fishing this way for 20 years even before the flasher was a main piece of equipment.<br />

We have always used rod wrapping thread to secure our wire indicators then gave them a couple of coats of epoxy or some type of durable coating. The electrical tape will probably not work, as the wire will easily slip out of position once the tape gets cold, plus, you can't wrap it tight enough with the tape.<br />
<br />
Some of our wires are designed for shallow fishing and some for deeper work. If you are using a 1/5 th oz Swedish Pimple on a real thin gauge wire, then it will likely cause your wire to…

Some of our wires are designed for shallow fishing and some for deeper work. If you are using a 1/5 th oz Swedish Pimple on a real thin gauge wire, then it will likely cause your wire to 'nose dive' in a downward loop and you won't be able to detect strikes. We usually use wires, or guitar strings, from .018 to .030 and about 2 inches in length beyond the tip guide, with at least an inch of wire wrapped onto the rod tip section itself.<br />
<br />
We also 're-bend' our wires perhaps hundreds of times as some of them will hold up for years. As a general rule in ice jigging...heavier wire indicators for heavier lures, lighter wires for lighter lures.<br />
<br />
I have never used them for open-water efforts as I think most of them would simply 'fold-over' on even the slowest of retrieves.

Ok Jim, That makes sense, neat trick. Something that could be used on open water, on a calm day or in a float tube. I'm going to have my spinning rod out of storage yet,if I can find it.<br />
Thanks Jim<br />

Jim -This is incredible!I've always wanted to use ends of strings I clip off after changing a set in some resourceful way ...can you use electrical tape to cinch the springy indicater<br />
to the rod end? Seems to me a light gauge B string would do the trick.
