Flashers for ice fishing

[joatmon]

Thanks Pat, this adds another option that I need to try. I've experimented with "Michigan rigs" (bead head fly above a spoon) and "Great Lakes perch dropper rigs" (horizontal jig 2-1/4" below a spoon on mono) this winter, with decent success. I even caught a couple of doubles on the Michigan rig. I have several hali jigs and haven't even strung one on this year. I did buy a Lindy perch talker and have had really good success on panfish and largemouth bass using it.

I'm guessing the wire helps avoid tangling, so see that as one positive. Looks like your separation is 5 inches or so. Have you experimented with shorter and longer wires? Just wondering if it makes a difference, maybe for different species?
