What kind of gloves does everyone have? What brand cold snap suit do you have. Curious what others have.

For gloves I just wear a pair of the brown jersey glove on nicer days and when I am fishing in my portable and switch to a pair of the Ice Armor Edge gloves for the colder days. I also have a pair of mitts I wear on really cold days too. as for suits, my first ice fishing suit was a strikemaster suit (still use this to snow blow the driveway) then I got a first year Striker Ice suit (wear this on the extremely cold days) and my current main suit is a Ice Armor Lift Suit (this is the one I wear the most). for boots I wear the Ice Armor Sub Zero Boots (these are very warm boots).

On cold days I wear the Sno Suit mittens and the fingered heavy Ice Force gloves when its not bitter cold. When hole hopping its either fingerless wool gloves or thin fingered fleece gloves. If my hands get cold I eiether put them in my pockets or choppers.

Frabill FXE task gloves worked great for me last year. They are bulky but not so bad as to make your hands almost useless. They are waterproof as well. I could stick my hand down the hole with them on and stayed dry...and warm. Sometimes on very cold days I wore a thin liner Ansell glove underneath but not often.

I have the Ice Armor Ultra gloves and love them. Plenty warm and your fingers can still function with them on. Also they are waterproof. Well worth the $55 price tag.

Anyone have an opinion on Striker's mitts? I just order a pair to try. I figure the suits are good the gloves might be as well. I currently use the clam extreme mitts and they were great (just getting old and wqorn out). I tried to get some locally yesterday but they didn't have the size I wanted. So I figured I'd try the Striker brand.

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Great news, thank Skunked  
    • jim curlee
      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.
    • PSU
      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?
    • Jetsky
      Thanks for the heads up. Cigar.
    • monstermoose78
      The price will blow your mind if they get some 
    • CigarGuy
      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
