Fishing Michigan

When talking about fishing, specially ice fishing in the Midwest, Lindy’sname will usually come up during the conversation.  Small wonder with so many of their ice lures bearing the name of Dave Genz,  basically the concensus leader in ice fishing over the past decade.  Lindy offers three spoons in its line up of ice lures.

The first one to hit the market several years ago was the Rattl’r Spoon.  On the backside of the spoon there is a rattle chamber. It comes in three sizes, and since the website does not list the weights, if memory serves they are available in 1/8,  1/4 and 3/8ths of an ounce. Primarily a walleye spoon, the smaller size can be used with perch.

The next one to be introduced was the Frostee Spoon.  This spoon was developed from the vertical jig of the same name three or four years ago.  Available in a variety of Lindy’s Techni-Glo colors, most anglers use the smaller sizes for panfish.  It is also available in 3/16th and 1/4 oz.  These two closely weighted lures are  viable walleye spoons.

Released this year, is the Rattl’n Flyer Spoon.  Unlike the Frostee spoon, this one takes its’  heritage from a horizontal jig.  Available in some unique new colors and prism finishes, it follows Lindy’s target audience, inland lakes.  Going no larger than 1/4 oz,  it is good for optimal conditions on the Great Lakes.  Look for a 1/16 oz size to come out next year for gills and crappie.
