The Mustad Pike Harness is specifically designed for ice fishing, allowing the hook and bait to be fished vertically. This rig presents the bait in a horizontal position, enabling anglers to strike immediately and minimize the chances of deeply hooked fish. It's suitable for use with live or dead baits like Sucker Minnow, Smelt, Roach, or Cisco, making it ideal for targeting Northern Pike, Muskies, and Walleye. While Tip-ups are the most common method for ice fishing, it can also be used with jig poles or fish-house rattle reels. The rig includes two double open-eye hooks and is constructed from 77 lb (34 kg) test wire, fitted with a cross-lock swivel for enhanced performance.
