So I dabbled with a couple spreaders and umbrella wires, still need to get 'em some exercise.
As I'm perusing ice jigs on Ebay - I come across a few of these.

Also found "mousies" - has anyone used those? Similar to waxies, but the look kinda fuzzy.

You will have to let us know how they work. As for those hairy looking worm things, mousies, never seen them before.

They're not called mousees because of the fur. They're called mousees because they have a tail, and look like tiny baby mice. They are the larvae of a the Eristallis Tenax fly.

I ordered some mousees and thus far we've caught fish with them but nothing to stellar. Will be interesting once we find some decent fish how they work. Ordered them again from Knutson's out of Michigan back in early December and still going strong.

They're currently out of stock at Knutson's. Never seen them for sale around here. As long as they don't lay their eggs on me....[shocked]

Got my order in. I'd already tried, and found successful these mousie jigs, but the little plastic tails get hammered pretty good. Then there no better than three blind mice!
We'll see if the live ones do the trick. Order in. But they've got more. Waxies, and spikes too.
