How to choose the right ice-fishing lure: a simple winter guide

In winter, choosing the right lure is only half the job — the same lure can start working once you adjust depth and rhythm. This guide explains when to choose a balance lure, a vertical lure or a mormyshka, how to decide on size and colour, and what to do when perch follows but won’t commit. Plus a practical tip we see all the time on the ice: many anglers fish a balance lure too high — starting close to the bottom (around 5 cm) often triggers bites faster.
