Description

DON'T FEAR THE REAPER! The Ice Reaper was originally designed to fill a void in the tackle box. A more horizontal presentation with a larger body profile makes it irresistible to larger panfish. The Sickle Hook was added for better hook ups on Crappies and Perch. This jig is a great change-up to smaller Tungsten jigs. MATERIAL: LEAD WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER OR REPRODUCTIVE HARM.

Field Notes

Use this ice jig through the ice when panfish are relating to suspended or bottom-hugging fish. Work it with short jigging motions and pauses to keep the larger, more horizontal profile in the strike zone.

Pros

  • Designed for a more horizontal presentation to attract larger panfish
  • Sickle hook improves hookup rates on crappies and perch
  • Good change-up versus smaller tungsten jigs

Cons

  • Lead construction (may be restricted in some waters)
  • Best suited for ice/panfish situations rather than open-water fishing
