Plastics On Ice!

One of the major things that has made my life on the ice easier is Artificials. Over the last 7 years or so more and more companies are adding plastics to the line up. I know everyone has most likely heard of the Little atom stuff, as well as the Berkley Gulp Alive products, But theres a ton of little companies that make amazing artificial baits!

Head on over to Sportsmensdirect.com and be sure to check out the soft plastics section, Once there you will find the J&S custom jigs line of plastics. This plastics was my go to on the ice over the winter of 2010-2011. Being relatively New. Jeremy (Owner of J&S) has created some really hard to beat Plastics for the Diehard Ice guy as well as the open water fisherman. I was able to get some samples of the first four models he had. The Icemite & Icemite Jr., as well as the Paddlebug & Paddlebug Jr. right after he introduced them and was amazed by the instant success I had when using them! He has since Introduced the Icemite Magnum, And the Gojo. All of these are amazing and worth checking out!

Next on the list head over to Google and search out Maki Plastics, They are a small company Out of NY and One of the first companies That I ordered from. All the stuff they make is scented, as well as very durable. Some of my Favorites have been the Maki, Mousi, Spiiki, Guppi, And Buggi.

Another Company worth noting is KJB Plastics(Pictured Above). They have a ton of models and are a sure bet if neither of the previous mentioned companies work. I use many of them but Prefer the Spurn, Tri tail, XS, And Sm-Bwt the most. They provide the customer with an amazing selection of colors in bleed and non bleed. I like to take a color or two of the colors that bleed and throw them in a bag together to see what kind of off the wall color I can create!

Again I am not saying that the Big company Plastics do not work, If I said that I would be lying. A ton of my fish have come from Micro nuggies (Little Atom). I Just wanted to share some of the gem's I have been able to find around the net!
