Favorite Ice Fishing Lure

[BringAnExtension]

What is your favorite ice fishing lure, the one that you can not go out on the ice without?  I am thinking of a lure that you use in the darker waters of southern Minnesota.

 

I tend to like buckshots and rattling flyers, but I always have a white demon with red stripes on my dead stick.  I am heading out fishing now, but will post a picture of the demon later.

I'll let you know when I find it. Probably the first thing I pull a walleye up with, but so far no luck.

My favorite one is the one that works that day, but I tend to use my jigging spoons first. Good luck out there.

For walleyes, it's a red macho minnow or small gold jigging rapala. For crappies a small green and gold jigging spoon with treble hook.

It seems like my go to right now is a Pink/White Buckshot.  Here are the demons that I normally use on my dead stick.

That demon is by far one of my favorites also. I use it on a dead stick almost every time I go out for crappies. 

For jigging I like to go with a forage minnow silver and black. I like my jigs to move straight up and down, but if that doesn't work I'll try the slender spoons. Has anyone tried the new lindy Wally or perch talkers?

I spent the weekend on one of the big 6 walleye lakes and I might have to adjust my answer.  I was using a #5 UV Green Slab Rap and walleyes would hammer it.  Even though the bite was a little slow, I out fished the rest of my group and all of my fish were on that Slab Rap.

 

I can't wait to try it out on the area lakes.

 

 

I did however catch a nice Perch using the demon tipped with a depth finder.  Couldn't believe it, checking the depth and caught that fish bringing it back up.

I once pulled in a perch the same way. Setting the depth on a tipup and pulled in a dinky little perch.
