I have the same Eagle Claw box, but I generally don't take it with me. I mostly just use it for storage, in my garage. I have rod holders attached to my bucket, which easily allows me to haul around 5 or 6 combos, in my bucket. Rarely do I need more than 5 or 6 rods, for all day fishin...

Ice fishing is the one thing I cheap out on and treat like it owes me money, only take out one frostbite rod with a small box of jigs in a bucket

Haha I know what you mean. Lots of opportunity to DIY stuff also

I'm digging the inverse 'Waterland' branding. Shirt of Jeff matches the Hat of Paul, Hat of Paul matches Shirt of Jeff... Team bucket all the way, then again I only have two very cheap rods for the ice. I've been thinking on picking up the 13 fishing tickle stick and then may consider a rod locker, but at the moment I don't need one.

Flambeau Rod Bunk Box! Best affordable Rod Box. 60-70 dollars on Amazon... Currently still no ice 🤯

Try out the piscifun inlines

A buddy of mine and I are thinking about hitting up Houghton Lake next weekend the 28th. There is good ice up there I heard!

I heard there's ice there too. My cabin is close.

If anyone is in the market for lures, jammin jigs has amazing lures. I get majority of my catches on their jigs in Colorado.

Otsego Lake has safe ice 6”+ in Gaylord MI Anywhere in Upper peninsula should have at least 8-10” by now Not any safe ice in NW Lower peninsula yet

You guys need to check out the 13 fishing 10th anniversary ice free fall, it’s shiny gold also the trick shop 2022 free fall , it’s a chromomatic color. 10th anniversary runs $100 and the other truck shop runs $120.

Would love to see you guys go laker fishing check out frostbite rods they have every length and action you could ever need and great quality

I picked up my first ice fishing combo. Its a Frabill 30" Quick Tip with their Vypr reel. I got it for $50 at Scheels. I'm still not sure how eager I am to get on the ice but thought I'd give it a try.

Piscifun icz frost carbon is the best I had used. I have blackbetty, decent and swapped them out with pscifu. The magnetic control actually works compared to black Betty to control so that you don't run into that overspooling. The drag is strong enough for pike. I have it with my pan fish to walleye setup.

One set up if you want a solid dead stick combo is the Daiwa TD Ice 30” DS. Retails between 80-90 bucks US for the combo. Super soft tip for bite detection with a solid backbone from panfish and handles even bigger walleye extremely well. Feel bad you guys are waiting so long for ice! Hope it freezes quick down there.

Ah yes, ice fishing combos for '24... I've got those

Started with a xustomized bucket for my rods but i lile the rod locker i have now much better. Better protection from snaggin and tangling while transporting and also great for storing in the warmer months. Wish it was a bit cheaper for what it is but still worth the 150 or so for the one i have (eagle claw rod locker hard case)

You guys should check out the frostbite rods they have two options, expensive and not so expensive they are the same bike but they use different recoil guides and they have amazing actions definitely should check them out

Looking at lockers.. but don't wanna spring the money. My question. Using the bucket. What happens if u fill the bucket with ur fish? Do you put ur rods in with the fish? How do you clean the rods and reels afterwards?

I'm planning to start small on the ice. There is a small lagoon around me that has Bluegill, warmouth, crappie, largemouth bass, channel catfish, & crap. The Lagoon max depth though is only around 8-10 feet. I keep hearing everyone talk about 10 feet being shallow, do think this lagoon maybe too shallow to ice fish?

@aaanglers

You can catch fish through ice in 3 ft of water. 10ft isn't too shallow. It's nice to have an inline reel for that though.
