Legendary ice angler Dave Genz talks fishing Euro Larvae for panfish – why it’s successful and how he likes to rig ’em up.

My favorite live bait to use today while ice fishing for panfish is euro larva.

The euro larvae or colored spikes, as they as also called, come in a variety of colors and are pretty durable. They also give off a bunch of scent in the water which I feel really makes a big difference for the fish.

I like to put two or three on my jig and hook them so they hang off and wiggle in different directions. Really load up the jig or spoon. If I am using a treble hook I may put six of them on there. Don’t be afraid to beef up your presentation using the spikes.

Another thing I will do if I haven’t caught a fish in a while or if I’m having fish come in and look but not bite is add a fresh euro larvae to the end of my jig.

I’ve found it really makes a difference and I really believe it has to do with all the scent that they produce and the amount of wiggle they have in the water.
