The Swedish Pimple is a lure that has been widely used in Sweden for over 100 years. It is a spoon shaped lure used for jigging.

The skimmer is made to scoop the slush out of the hole. Some skimmers have rulers stamped into them. Some people drop their skimmer through the hole and have to buy a new one. Hold on tight.

Answer: cleats

Cleats go over your shoes/boots to give your traction on the ice. Many people end up getting hurt from falling on the ice.

Answer: flare

A whistle is used to alert other you have fallen through the ice.

A spoon is a lure that resembles a real spoon. It flutters in the water thus attracting fish.
