Own a piece of Ice fishing history buy a ice decoy.

Spearfishing decoys what are they?

Spearfishing decoys are made of wood generally, hand painted with metal fins painted tack or glass eyes and are designed to swim like a injured bait fish when jigged.

The decoys are used in the winter through the ice.

Muskie and pike are the fish that will mostly likely be attracted to decoys most of the time.

This old folk art tradition has been around for years and years.

Some of the vintage ice decoys are worth quite abit of money for a original.

The founders of this Art form should be more recognized for their craftsmanship and very

interesting art form in my opinion.. Most of them even forged their own fish spears.

Spearing fish in the winter was a way of putting supper on the table for many spear fishermen

so their decoys must work or no one would eat.

I think its illegal to use decoys in Canada i dont really know why, considering there is no

hooks on the decoys. All they do is attract the fish in.. Ok back to the subject.

Some decoys are very unique and worth hundreds of dollars and in my oppinion should be worth

more. ..Some decoy carvers back in the day made so many decoys they would trade or barter

with them amongest the other spear anglers.

If you would like to see more spearing decoys/ice decoys and have even a chance to
