Hey John I thought of instead of rain-ex you could use the DIY car windshield de-over. Equal parts of rubbing alcohol, vinegar and water in a spray bottle
Best way bar none that iv,e found to keep ice from forming on your line and eye,s when reeling in ,is to submerge your rod and reel under water and reel your fish in with everything completely under water.Work,s like a charm for me.A real pluss to using this method is after you catch a fish you enjoy the heat from the stove a lot more.ha.ha.
I’ve fished thru the ice for many years and have used monofilament line in the winter. I used to put products on my gear to keep ice off but found by doing that,it kept the fish off too. Some of my gear has reels but I gave up on them because of icing. Know I pull the fish up using just the line, no rods or sticks. No ice doing it that way.
Hey John just asking, you don't have any problems with the WD40 messing up your reel gears. My grandpa alway told me me to keep that stuff away from the reel.
Dude WD40 eats rubber , you won't notice it at first but it will mess up your reel ! Learned the hard way myself , screwed up a couple knifes and reels when I was younger ! ?
I too like winter fishing. In my younger days, I actually fished tournaments in sub freezing temps. Older now, it’s a lot more of a challenge due to normally low blood pressure which causes me to get cold very quickly. Meaning, I’d probably hog the heat source. LOL

Tried ice fishing once. Caught a few fish but didn't catch any ice. Musta been the bait.
Awesome information.

I've tried ice fishing a few times but it took for ever to chop a hole in the ice large enough to launch the boat.
good tips

I also use a tin can like yours but I poke holes at the bottom to keep air flowing and also at the top so I can cook on there!
Some folks spray WD40 on their bait as an attractant when it’s a slow bite.
