Fishing Lures (Crankbaits)
Rapala has been creating one of the world’s favorite fishing lure since 1936 and now Rapala lures are used by anglers in over 140 countries worldwide. Their lures are based on a simple principle, big fish eat little fish and in the unforgiving underwater world, if you are an injured fish, you might as well consider yourself a meal.

The biggest difference between ice fishing lures and open water fishing lures is that regular lures travel horizontally through the water. You cast the lure out and reel it back in or troll behind a slow moving boat. When ice fishing the lure travels vertically. you can’t cast through a small hole in the ice. I have caught many fish with the Rapala ice fishing jigs. They come in a variety of sizes and color patterns. Northland makes similar lures called airplane jigs. Another popular ice lure is the Swedish Pimple. Berkeley make a line of artificial baits called GULP! . They are popular with some ice fishermen. Hooks, sinkers and swivels would be good to have too. I hope this helps. If you can, get out on the ice with him at least once. You might have fun.
