When one thinks about ice fishing they typically picture
walleyes, crappies, sunfish, perch, pike, maybe a lake
trout or eel pout, but not many people think of catfish.
Even the mere idea of catching a catfish under the ice
results in scowls and even sometimes laughter. But for
those of you who venture out chasing these whiskered
critters you’ll find yourselves smack dab in the middle
of not only a harsh tussle but one of the better tasting
winter fish across the ice belt!

We’re all familiar with 3-color flashers. We’ve used them for years and they have
become a foundation for most ice anglers. Having the ability to “see” what’s below
you and react accordingly is something most of us would never forfeit. It’s to the
point now that if we leave our Vexilar at home then we turn around to get it. Fishing is
just not the same without your flasher staring you in the face when battling with a
finicky fish. But do we really use our Vexilar to its fullest? It’s not just a tool that
shows the bottom, the fish and your jig, it’s much more than that…
