I like to use 4-6 pound test line, some brands of line out there are made just for ice fishing and
for lower temperatures they state that the line doesn't freeze or ice up..
I like 6 pound test, it will still be able to bring in a good size walleye or pike if one gets in the
way while GOING FOR PANFISH!..

Ice fishing tips tuning up the ice auger
Well fellow anglers winter is on its way and the good ole sport of ice fishing is brewing in hearts of ice anglers across Canada USA and the world!. Here's a few tips to make the hard water season go smoothly, Thinking in advance can be a good thing when it comes icefishing because it will save you time money and frustration. Testing and maintaining the Ice auger before the trip i have to say is a common over looked thing.. Giving the old jiffy ice auger a new spark plug once and while doesn't hurt either and it will make the trips go allot better!!. Another common problem is the diaphragm in the carburetors on ice augers they seem to harden up as they sit over the summer months. Making starting the auger nearly impossible till it gets warmed up and worked in a bit. How to prevent this is to start your auger a few times during the summer months .. The neighbours that see will say "look at that hardcore ice angler hes having withdrawals from ice fishing poor fellow". That's when you walk over to their yard and drill a few test holes in the nosey neighbours front lawn with a smile .. HA!OK back to subject.Cleaning the carb on the auger can be tricky so If your not familiar with the mechanics of the auger its best to leave it alone and take it to a certified service repair dept that specializes in them ect..tune ups cost about 20.00-40.00 bucks cheap...Maybe the most important thing in keeping the auger running smoothly is properly mixed fuel another key thing!
Last but not least.
I always flush the tank out at the end of the ice season if you want to get down dirty..
Other than that your ice auger should work fine!!
I RECOMMEND JIFFY ICE AUGERS..
MY JIFFY LASTED ME YEARS AND STILL IS GOING STRONG! IT HAS DRILLED
LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF HOLES!!
BEST DANG AUGER I EVER OWNED!
THE REST OF THE AUGERS ON THE MARKET I WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT....
HERE you go i placed a link above so you can BUY A Jiffy FOR YOUR SELF if you want..
I WOULD BUY THIS Model below.. BECAUSE IT HAS A METAL PULL START REWIND COVER ALOT BETTER THAN THE PLASTIC ONES THEY ARE NOW MAKING!!WHY? BECAUSE IN THE COLD THE PLASTICS ONES BREAK! BUT THE METAL ONES WORK PERFECTLY FOR YEARS SO IF THE JIFFY COMPANY READS THIS DONT CHANGE A GOOD THING LIKE THE METAL PULL START REWIND COVER!

Heres another classic
Billy Bob and Jethro decide to go ice fishing. After arriving at the lake early in the morning, they cut two holes in the lake and drop their lines in the water. After fishing for a few hours, Billy Bob has caught dozens of fish while Jethro hasn't even gotten a bite. Jethro asks, "Billy Bob, what's your secret?"
Billy Bob answers, "Mmu motta meep da mmrms mmrm."
Jethro asks, "What did you say?"
Billy Bob answers, "Mmu motta meep da mmrms mmrm."
Jethro again asks, "What?"
Billy Bob spits into his hand and says, "You gotta keep the worms warm!"

heres one for ya all enjoy
A blondie wanted to go ice fishing, so after getting all of the right tools, she headed toward the nearest frozen lake. After getting comfy on her stool she started to cut a circular hole in the ice. Then from the heavens a voice boomed, ''THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.'' Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a thermos of hot chocolate and started to cut yet another hole in the ice. The voice boomed, ''THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.'' This time quite scared, the blonde moved to the far end of the ice. Then she started another hole and once again the voice said, ''THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.'' The very scared blonde raised her head and said, ''Is that you, Lord?'' The voice answered, ''NO. IT IS THE MANAGER OF THE ICE RINK.''

Nope never made em the top one is made by a great decoy maker named HARVEY CASE poor old fellow rest his soul he died a while back. From what i hear he made litterally thousands and amongest the spear fishermen collonys in the minnesota area they say nothing beats the way they swim and he sold em cheap all hand made. All the decoys had the simular shape you can tell a harvey case when ever you see one.
