I'm 65 and been ice fishing my whole life and with your hacks it shows that you can always learn new things. I live on lake Erie in Michigan and love the waleye, perch and pike fishing here. My wife and I flew to Saint Paul this year for the ice show and I would have liked to talk with you. Maybe next year and I could share a few of my Hacks
Many people use the ice anchors to hold down their shacks, but when you watch the videos the ice cracks into many pieces near the surface,...my tip is to pre-drill a hole where you plan on putting the ice anchor, it only takes a second and very little to no ice breakage. Much, much easier!
Came here to say this. A few pilot holes and the bit to drive the anchors works a treat. The time it takes to change the bits and drill the pilot holes is nothing compared to how quick the anchors drive in afterwards vs cracking with no pilot hole.
Awesome video Sobi!!! I definitely liked your 2024 hacks exspecially the ice rod wrap!!! It’s always nice seeing all the different things that everyone does for ice fishing so that it can give you ideas and share ideas to help each other angler out there!!! I am definitely addicted to ice fishing but I am not a huge fan of the cold weather though!!!!! Lol!! Awesome video once again and remember to keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!!!!!
I'm with you on the construction. I use white friction/hockey tape as it allows me to print the line test and date it. "I wonder if this memory trick is a sign of someone who may have too many fishing rods? Maybe. Shhh!" I enjoy the videos muchly. Thanks.
I am so glad you included that clip from the video of the last time you got blown over! 🤣 All in good fun! In my older age, I'm more of a fair-weather angler, especially when it's windy as heck.
Sam I’m sorry but I honestly only watch ya during the winter but I’m always locked in for all vids once the season starts…. Love it.. also this reminds me.. I can’t find my damn hardwtr hoodie. Gotta get my gear out, might get lucky early here in SE Michigan 😂
I use castrating rings for my rods. Cheap. I also bought the tool to install them. $30 for the tool. $5 for 100 rings. No sticky residue left on rod if you want to change reels for any reason.
I use KVD line conditioner on mono and floro line after it’s been on reel awhile. Really helps control line memory and twist. Spray bottle last five or six years.
Thanks for the video. I thought I was interesting though with all the clam supplies you get that you don’t have the tape that clam sells for putting reels on rods do not like their tape.
The show was awesome I didn’t even know it was a thing but i seen one of your other videos talking about and decided to go with my girlfriend. I picked up an ice szn hoodie at the booth love it
Buy a rod with a reel seat. You spend 60-100 bucks on a custom rod and then tape the reel on? Throw that mono line away for walleye and use one of the superlines, no line memory and tie a 12-18" of flouro on the superline.
You need to check out S2B ice anchors. They are amazing and quick set up. Been using them for a couple years and wouldn’t use anything else. Also it’s a little ma and pa shop in Iowa. So made in the USA
What do you recommend for putting reels on laker rods? Tried different tapes (electrical tape, rod wrap and bands) but the reel moves all around when playing a lake trout.
I really need help spooling up my spooler reel. I am confused at the part on how the line stays on the spool. It looked like you never tied a knot. Did you just wrap it around and tape the line?
Rescue tape is what I’ve been using for many years,, has different brand names, but as many already know, it’s a tape that only sticks to itself. If all else fails..electrical tape is a no brainer… which brings up another conversation… why do you need to have an ice rod without an actual reel seat.. I’m 57 and been ice fishing my whole life. I prefer the ice rods that I have with reel seats.. grip sensitivity is overrated.
Horrible advice! All reel bands are junk. And I'll never use tape again! The clam rubber reel wrap is gold! And no tape or glue, holds better than any tape!
Mounting a reel, ice anchors, heating up fishing line, researching where you are fishing… If you don’t have a rod and reel Probably should start there. He isn’t losing fans by far.
Been ice fishing for 50 yrs! 3m elec. tape is still the deal! Hockey tape and fiberglass tape loosens up. Elec. tape you can stretch and make it incredibly tight. It doesn't loosen up and you don't have to mess with it again. Period!

When I saw 3 ice fishing hacks, I thought it would be a video with You, Murray, and B- rock 😂
13:50 “alright hack number 3 done” “alright so hack number 3” 🤣🤣
😅😅😅

I would love to hear them!!

Well done, Sobi I am 65 years old and you are teaching me some things that are useful.
Friggggen gangster hacks, love it Sobi! That fiberglass tape looks legit
Eh pro and cons ..kinda gotta plan on leaving the same reel on for ever because the tape tears up the rod. Especially on cork
@@208flatheads3put down painters tape or masking tape before you even place the reel and that should solve it

I would highly recommend the drill attachment for the ice anchors. Screwing them in by hand is a pain in the a**.
No it aint
Maybe yours are harder, but mine usually aren't too bad

YOU my friend are super helpful! Thank you. It was nice to meet you at the St. Paul show!
GREAT JOB SOBIE …….KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
Great stuff! Just shared this video!
Let’s goooo! Gotta love a Sobi video!
Loved the remix🎶 Great vid as always Sobi!
Try those hollow anchors they bite the ice better I think and easy to turn in if you don't have a drill
Sam I’m sorry but I honestly only watch ya during the winter but I’m always locked in for all vids once the season starts…. Love it.. also this reminds me.. I can’t find my damn hardwtr hoodie. Gotta get my gear out, might get lucky early here in SE Michigan 😂
great tips!
Sobi-Whon Ka- nobie..AWESOME!!!!
"Watch me do a wrap around" -Mr Lahey 🤣😂 sorry couldn't help myself bud
Love the videos. Keep up that grind.
Thank you for being so awesome and signing my hoodie and your so awesome
Great to finally meet you! We’ll have to link up and get you on some big eyes and gators!

Thanks, great video.
Love the reel tape hack! I always used electrical tape! Gunna swap my rods now!!! Thanks guy!

Get this man to 100K
Looks like the onX is only for Apple? Could not find it in the Android store 😢 that's a bummer.
Same
Cooking pot lid with a vent hole. Thread line through the hole, you can then keep the spool in the hot water
Are you going to be at the Oshkosh Ice Fishing Expo this weekend?
We love every video Sobi! Hoping to get on the ice soon. Happy days! Ice Fishing is AWESOME!!!!
You’re THE man
I use hockey tape as well 😂
Install the S2B outdoors ice anchor kit. Locks it down solid!!
That tape is the deal. Bought the Elliott kit a couple years ago before buying it separately
Thanks for the video. I thought I was interesting though with all the clam supplies you get that you don’t have the tape that clam sells for putting reels on rods do not like their tape.

Good advise
I've tried numerous times to load onx fish wisconsin. Do you have a video to teach?
saw a truck on the ice on one of the sloughs yesterday, ice got thick quick

Agree S2B is the real deal
Good stuff
OnX fish is a dream in Wisconsin
Thats Lake Mazaska on that map
Another Banger Great video bud 🙌
Looks like everyone is heading to fish Lake Mazaska now.😅
Silicon tape for the win for reels self adhering find it near electrical tape
What are the T looking things on the lake that look like a "T" on X Fish? Great stuff by the way!
Sobi where did you get your spud bar?
Where’s the hoodie from? I apologize if it was said and I missed it!
"Today was a good- AAAAAHHHH"
So yeah, three piece anchor kit, if you fish early ice, especially when there's no snow, buy this.
"AAAAAHHHH"
You'll thank me
What do you recommend for putting reels on laker rods? Tried different tapes (electrical tape, rod wrap and bands) but the reel moves all around when playing a lake trout.
Sobi, are you ever going to collaborate with MAV or AP again?
I really need help spooling up my spooler reel. I am confused at the part on how the line stays on the spool. It looked like you never tied a knot. Did you just wrap it around and tape the line?
Nice !
Will u be at red next week?
What pole is that for your mega live
Is onx fishing only on iphone?
To hold a reel on, I just use zip ties, quick and easy.
how do i find bulk ice fishing line???
What’s the purpose of using a rod that doesn’t have reel mounts?
I live in Wisconsin and looked up onx fish, but it's not in the play store. Anyone know what's going on with that?
Is onx fish only for i phones? I have a Android.
Indy slitttt
what? I want to ask, are there really fish there?
Where did you get the red white and blue auger
I believe they are strike master bits they have them at scheels and fleet farm around me
Just search for the flight
Looks like a bomb pop
you should watch his 2024 ice fishing gear video he posted not that long ago...
Why dont the rod makers just use a normal or modified realseat on these rods?
Onx Fish iphone only - will there be android release soon?
I have an android too, I just searched it up on google and added it to my home screen. That's what works for me.
I don't like the hockey tape because it retains water.
Not Howie's that stuff is the bees knees water resistant, it's actually designed to resist snow and ice buildup.
on x fish needs to release an android version!
❤️🎣
Sobi, what happened to your snowdog? Do more doggie vids.
Let's go
Friction tape
Bring back SPOK!
Yessir

Man ya didn’t even fish. Wow bro
I don't do anything that's labeled as a "hack" or anything thats branded as "quick and easy" can't stand those sayings.
Okey thanks for letting us know 😂
Horrible advice! All reel bands are junk. And I'll never use tape again! The clam rubber reel wrap is gold! And no tape or glue, holds better than any tape!
First
I see hacks but I also see a guy who has more gear early ice fishing than most guys can afford . You’re loosing a lot of your fans.
Mounting a reel, ice anchors, heating up fishing line, researching where you are fishing… If you don’t have a rod and reel Probably should start there. He isn’t losing fans by far.

How are you reducing line twist when spooling your reel, as your spool of line is twisting in circles in the water as you spool it?
Electric tape is all you need instead of wasting 10 minutes of my life
