Fishallspec 5 Report post Posted December 20, 2016 A bit off topic, I see you are using a Jawjacker, work well on the Perch? Can you get these locally? I am starting to get the ice fishing itch ! RPM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 98 Report post Posted December 20, 2016 The Jaw jackers work well for perch on Black Bay. Inside one of Garry's day huts they are deadly. , Outside, not so hot until the temperatures warm up around the end of the season. Trigger mechanism can get ice in it and lock up on you. When they are ice free, the tension adjustment on the trigger can be turned down to the point that even a 3" perch will set it off. If you purchase one, throw away the release lines they come with and custom make your own for better fit. They are great out on Black Bay, sounds like a mouse trap going off and you know something has been at the bait. AB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf 2 Report post Posted December 20, 2016 A CO stopped by while we were out there. He questioned our automatic jigger. Reasoning on this was if it was spring loaded it would be illegal to fish with in Ontario. A jaw jacker is a spring loaded device. Take it as you wish. See you out there Garry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Some Old Guy 968 Report post Posted December 20, 2016 If a jaw jacker is considered spring loaded then so are down riggers. This is has been brought up in the past. They are legal. This picture is illegal. Roger Quote R.T.R. Respect the resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I recall he called it spring loaded due to the rod being under tension. I agree then wouldn't down riggers be illegal as wel as roger pointed out. I'll just take the ticket when he gives it and fight it later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are approx. 1/3 the price of a jawjacker and alot less parts to lose or freeze up! Can put a bell on the rod so when it goes off you will hear it! You can also set the sensitivity depending what species of fish your fishing. Quote Silver Minnow Bait Shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
