You should try a baitfeeder reel with the second drag system, you will never lose a rod again, unless they spool you! I use the Okuma brand and I love them, look into it.

Inspirational as always Jay, I am really trying to learn your technique. Not just with ice fishing but filming as well. Keep it GOING! Also love the lodge

Awesome to see some of the Canadian boys using the finiky fooler. They are made about 2 hrs south of me in Wisconsin. I had a 4lb large mouth bass tip over my finiky fooler. I was thinking about drilling a hole in the fooler and using an ice anchor for your shack to keep the fooler from tipping over. Great video Jay.

You definitely got your steps in that day with all the running around to tip ups!! Tip Ups are the best kind of fishing especially when the fish cooperate!!

Hey Jay - hopefully you read this. the Braid is freezing! so that is why you are getting some crazy near into the drink rod issues. What is recommended for braid users is to strip 5 yards of braid and then re-reel so the frozen braid can peel better. Hope this helps

I agree with you, but I also am of the opinion that the rod is way too long for the size of the rig. I made mine bigger and problem solved. I've been hooked into some big fish with a tangle and not had a problem.

I run 40" rods on mine , never had one tip over . But this year we had some slide from the wind . I drilled a hole at the back of the base ,and use an ice anchor to hold it down.

I love how you and Clayton interact. It makes the videos that much better!

has got to be one of the best fishing youtubers

I have been using 30lbs flouro lead on all my pike rods this year. I have been impressed thus far with it.

I've been using the finicky fooler for a couple of years now . Drill a hole at the back of the base , then I take an ice anchor,and screw it to the ice . After I get a fish I make short cast to keep my line from freezing on the spool .plus I run okuma abf reels with an open bail and the bait feed drag engaged. Just to be sure.

What an awesome day. Looks like you got some exercise. Great video I love that underwater footage. Looking forward to the next video.

Another great video, Jay! I love to watch them. Hopefully there's still plenty of hard water content to come this year. 🙏🤞

Nice fish!!! I just love your videos Jay!

The soundtrack to that one was 👌👌

You guys need to come to BC and try some bull trout fishing. The Wigwam and Fernie area hold some of the world records. And In terms of videography you will have no shortage of amazing shots in the surrounding area.

Another great video Jay and excellent tips on rods, reels and line....Looking forward to Claytons video of the same trip with a different spin.

"Schick Sticks" LOL

My goodness I love that you mentioned the Mennonite game😂. Great vid Jay!!!

Making snot rockets fun 😁

Love it ! Camera work and fish just top quality how I’m trying to be 😎

Hey Jay, For longer rods have you looked at rifle cases. I think you could get 2-3 combos in a soft scoped gun case.

Long time watcher. Fairly new subscriber! As an avid ice fisherman, I truly enjoy your content. So, keep up the good work! I feel so fortunate to watch someone so passionate about what he does. You sir are an inspiration for a lot of us out here! Maybe someday I'll get to bend some rods with you!

Love the Giant Mouse! Is it an Ace? Better blade steel stays sharper way longer!!

Always excited when you release a new video just in time for my lunch break!

Those Finicky Foolers are great tipups. But I don't think the balance is right with them having a four foot rod in their rod holder. I've never had one tip over before but the longest rod I have used with them is 27 inches. Also the hole covers they sell are the best I've ever used and there'd be no chance of the rod going down the hole! With all that said, the ifish pro is probably a better setup for when you're using rods as long as you have.

Very cool aquaview footage

Great episode man!

14:14 The fabled pothead pike. Rumor has it they can't turn down a bag of doritos.

Been watching since day one, since you started with Aaron and haven't looked back. Would love a reunion with you two!! Hope all is good

Jay! Love your content. I love your videos but I have never ice-fished and would love to someday. You should do a video where you go ice fishing with a budget or bare minimum set up and show how you can do it without all your fancy gear. Would love to see it.

Great video! Heard you on the Outdoor Journal Radio podcast yesterday!

Right on

Wow, the fish are really dark in that lake. The pike, perch and walleye were all much darker than in most places.

Wish we had these in Louisiana. We do have a Chain Pickerel that looks identical and fights like heck but I wish they got bigger than 2 pounds!

Underwater pike footage is the best. Better start burying those finicky foolers

Lots and lots of pike in Canada!!

Get you some Voltaire systems if you’re looking for the best alarm systems.

Nice !

I'm so jealous I wish I could go fishing with you

I have that same GoPro(Hero 9 Black) what settings do you use for those conditions.

What about the tip downs

Looks like you had the line ran wrong on the finicky fooler a couple of those times. It needs to be ran through the rubber adjuster and the end/hook of it. Not between the rubber and pivot point. Been using foolers for years never lost a rod or had a scare like that.

Nice

4:09 it looks like someone carved on the body

Hello Jay. Wonderful as always. I am developing a tip up monitoring device. Have you ever considered using an electronic notification system to let you know when you have a flag?

What model aqua view??

Clayton vs Jay debate. Wire vs Fluoro. Personally, I'm team fluoro

Jay why don’t you do a video with your underwater drone again? Shallow water pike or stocked trout

what is the name of the song playing at 1845?

lets go

We should have a cousins fishing day. Your dad found that we are fifth cousins , so is Paul my cousin too?

Dude I want to get a big pike so bad

"is this twitch?"

I'm curious, do you not eat pike?

I find them quite delicious, down here in the US we have some really good ones and some really tiny pike.

He's done a catch n' cook or two. And I agree, they are very good eating

Anyone fish with large live bait with a finnicky fooler? I've tried and I can't get it to work. Either false flags all day. Or it doesn't release. I went back to my ifish pros for large suckers n shiners. Deadbait and up to fatheads the finicky fooler is great.

Jug fishing for pick is hilarious....most people never heard of jug fishing

In your own country your most distant relatives would be about 15th cousins. Across the whole world its as high as 50th cousins.

Weird. I haven't seen this from you before but you just about had to be trying to make the Finicky Fooler look bad. I've used them a ton and never had one tip. Your next video for trout you pack your jaw jacker in with snow to keep it in place. Why wouldn't you do that with your Fooler? The FF is a good product. To have that many issues is user error.

Woo hoo let’s go #1

@HuntFishMB Could you have picked a worse color for this years toque? Of all the nice colors on the spectrum you choose throw up... I love supporting you but seriously.

Get out of the rut.....try hotdogs with circle hooks! Really.
