I don't have any real good pics and this floor is for an older Eskimo house I had not the 949I that I use now. I think you'll figure out what I did. I made this same set up for my current house.

 

I built a socket into the floor. I then built a frame out of round bar. It goes up as you can see in the pic then hangs a 90 and hangs over the hole. I have a couple reels on aluminum brackets I formed to slide over the round bar.

Ditto this for the hub house.  I like that I can hear if a pike grabs my decoy if I’m outside too.

My setup is similar to MJ's and MrKlean's, I have a wood floor with a small hole in it on each side of the spear hole.  I use electrical conduit to make a frame over the hole and hang rattle reels  from it.

Who knows or has parts list for a hillbilly decoy spinner? Battery operated spinner for decoys or spoons or golf balls, etc....

Any response would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

      Took my last ice fishing trip of the season to Burntside on Thursday.  Went out on the snowmobile to fish better spots.  I waited until daylight to go out so I wouldn't get lost or run into open water.  When I got to my destination I discovered that the battery fell off of my Ion auger on the trip out (I won't make that mistake again).  I backtracked all the way back to the landing before finding it on the ice.   I got my lines in the water just before sunrise and caught a 24 inch lake trout 45 minutes later.  Always exciting watching the lake trout peel line off of the tip-up with their strong runs.  He quit running with the pike sucker soon after I took the video and I thought it may have dropped the minnow.  Pulling the line in by hand I could feel it still on so I set the hook and caught it on the lip.  Think I caught it before it was going to swallow the minnow and take its 3rd and final run.  Was nice to finally catch a laker on Burntside again after 5 straight trips getting skunked.   It was a beautiful day on the ice with good ice conditions, warm weather, and fairly calm winds.  The creel survey guy stopped and checked on me.  He said I was the only one he saw fishing on Burntside that day.  He said that most anglers he checked on Burntside that winter were skunked for lake trout, so I guess it was just not my problem alone.   20250327_072410.mp4

      But, the deep fried Okra went in the trash can.  I've tried it a few times and it's just not for me.  Neither is Grits, chittlins, or crackling!  🤮

      I think it's alway fun to try local fish or foods when I go somewhere! 😋 A few weeks ago I was down on Dauphin Island Alabama and tried a little flounder. They had small, mid and large. My wife had crab cakes, I got the mid! 😳 😆
