The ice fishing scene is changing fast, and the evolution of jigging spoons is no different. Let me explain. Traditionally, you have a flat lead spoon that is molded into various shapes and sizes. Add a ring and a hook, and you’ve got yourself a fishing lure. But...
Lipless crankbaits are a combination of old and new. I say they’re old, as I used to throw rattle traps when I was a kid for pike and bass. We’re talking 20 years ago, so a lipless crankbait isn’t new in that sense. But it’s new in the fact that they’re being...
