Ice Spoon
SpecializedIntermediateFreshwater
A compact, heavy spoon jigged vertically through a hole in the ice, built to flutter and flash on the fall in a tight column of water. The vertical presentation is the whole game — there's no cast, just precise depth control right under the hole.

Technique tips
- Jig it up sharply then let it flutter back down on a controlled fall — most bites come as it settles, not on the lift.
- Watch a flasher or fish finder if you have one — adjusting jig height to a fish's exact depth turns lookers into biters.
- Tip the treble with a waxworm or minnow head for extra scent when fish are following but not committing.
