My good friends have opened a new fly shop on Main Street in Rexburg. It will be nice to find quality flies and supplies without having to go too far away. Right now they carry loop and Redington rods and reels. They have Kast and Redington clothes. Their inventory is growing every day.
They are talking about having an ice fishing corner that would be very specific to what we use locally. If you were stalking a new store on a limited budget what would you include in the ice fishing section? Rods,Reels,jigs...etc?
My list: Jigs-paddle bugs in white, pink, chartreuse paired with high quality steelhead jig heads. Swedish pimples in white, pink, and silver for perch and Kokanee. Small pink rat finkies for Kokanee.
Reels: small Okuma spinning reels
Rods: HT, Eagle Claw, ugly sticks, unless you want to get into St. Croix, Brian Mitchell or even more expensive.
Auger: hand auger strike master lazer or Nils. Gas Auger strike master lazer .
What would you say are essential ice fishing equipment for local waters?
