Now here's REALLY interesting tackle that you just don't find everywhere! Hildebrandt Flicker Spinners and Feather Fly jigs may be just the ticket to that extra edge you need to get finicky panfish to notice you and then strike!
The itty-bitty, sparkly little 2/0 weighs in at only 1/64th ounce. Rig it up with your favorite 2 lb. test line and drop a Flicker Spinner down the ice fishing hole on top of those crappie's collective heads and see what happens! Ain't fishing fun?!!! I get all excited about using these Flicker Spinner beauties just sitting here typing! Well, they are really flashy and I have watched them on the underwater camera so I know they sparkle and flicker as they drop. If there are bluegills in the area, they will come and investigate. I got them too late in the season last year to really spend a lot of time, but I do know that sparkly is good. It's well worth having a few of these in your tackle box for ice fishing and summer as well. Those bigger sizes with a walleye minnow dangling over a reef in the BWCA are going to be murderous and probably ruled illegal by the Canadians in Quetico! That's OK, the walleyes taste exactly the same in the US.
The Feather Fly for trout fishing ( and bluegill or crappie fishing) adds a touch of feathers and a red stripe which is sure to be an attractant for bored trout seeking variety in their daily life. I mean, stop and think about it - as a free trout in a designated trout pond, they swim around, eat a couple bugs, watch other trout swim around, etc. With the exception of the errant otter and occasional loon, no natural predators hunt them , the water's nice and they have no bills to pay, no insurance premiums, no work, no nothin'. So let 'em have some nice, shiny, new lures to bite - utopia gets boring, too. Tie on a Feather Fly and drop it down the hole. For those of you not into hard water, tie on the tiny Feather Fly to your fly rod and drop in into deep water. Let it sink and be ready. A bored trout may soon be coming your way.
