Will have many come up to it ,possible hits . Soft bait imitations would probably be better, but cost is a factor again . Live bait is KING . Watch your tip ups !

Rapala makes a jigging lure like that, hook on each end and tie on in the middle.

Moose would only use Johnsonville Cheddar Brauts ! They'd never make it into the hole...ice hole that is. Muskrat-I would think one of those jigging Rapalas would work, but I think I would tip the rear hook with a little Crappie minnow to add some movement and bling. Moosetrot

Okay, I'm interested. On a tipup? Suspended? Rigged how? He used them with bobbers and tip ups on a smelt hook.

I'm gonna have to try that one out! MEANWHILE . . . . just got home from Fleet Farm in Winona. Lo and behold, there Susan and I was, carefully going down one aisle and up the other, checking out all the lures, when all of a sudden . . . I got so excited when I spotted this jigging lure I got a Giant Chubby!! And just a little while later I got another Giant Chubby!!! Will be awhile before it gets warm enough to test 'em out on the windlass, but these just might work. http://www.salmo.com.pl/en/giant-chubby/

A trapper complaining about the cost of bait? At least something is worth trapping.. it's sad when I can make as much in 2 minnow traps as I can with 100 rats. Yup bait is expensive and I like it that way.. it's extra nice when fur is high also VHS has changed the game down here. Better hope and pray it doesn't make its way up to your area.
